My husband is an Army recruiter and got a last minute assignment to teach a class tomorrow about making face to face contact with people to recruit and area canvassing which is getting involved in the community to get people interested in joining the army. We have no idea where to start with this... he has to teach for a full hour. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
Please no mean comments!!... he just really needs help figuring out how to structure what he's teaching and how to make it into an hour.

Good suggestion, only problem is he can't have too much "interactive" time. He has to be TEACHING for the bulk of the class. I suggested the same thing to him.

try making a list of the plus of joining the army.. the education they receive, types of skills they learn, learn to be Strong mentally and emotionally, and then use that to make a outline of his speech..... and then if allowed a q and a session with the people attending this meeting

Have him give an outline of the basic techniques. Then a demonstration. Then have the students pair off and take turns implementing what they have been shown. This will certainly take the time he has to fill and will be more meaningful than a lectures. End with a question and answer session about what they felt about the exercise.

What Nora explained IS teaching. She explained the method most corporate trainers use to teach adults. Perhaps what you mean is that he has to lecture the entire time. Is that what he is expected to do?
