What is the responsibility of Instructors at the Academy?

Instructors at the Academy have a fundamental role in delivering instruction that is aligned with both the Academy’s standards and state certification requirements. This responsibility is crucial because it ensures that cadets receive a structured, educational program that meets legal and professional benchmarks, preparing them adequately for their roles. Instructors must not only impart knowledge but also create an environment conducive to learning, adapt teaching methods to the needs of the cadets, and evaluate their progress according to established educational criteria.

While managing daily operations, supervising extracurricular activities, and assessing cadet performance are important responsibilities within the Academy, they do not encompass the primary teaching function that defines the role of instructors. The focus of instructors is on facilitating learning and ensuring that the instructional content meets the required standards for certification and professional competence. This distinction highlights the educational mandate that is at the heart of an instructor's role in the Academy.
