Logical sequencing of objectives contributes to the successful completion of a performance and gives learners orderly guidelines for accomplishing activities. How you decide to sequence objectives depends on the purpose of your instruction or training. Here are some suggestions and examples to help you organize objectives. i. Logical Sequential Order Put enabling objectives in a sequence that will be most helpful as a logical and orderly procedure for accomplishing the major task of the course or Terminal Performance Objective. ii. Common Sense Approach Use a common sense approach to sequencing; simple to complex or known to unknown represent some of the usual sequence patterns. iii. Order of Objectives Arrange the order of the objectives to provide learners the basic skills early in the training program. Program participants learn and accomplish objectives at different levels and speeds. The proper sequence will give some learners, at the very least, minimal skills. Examples of Effective Performance Objectives A. Law Enforcement Patrol 1. Terminal Performance Objective Given a valid DUI arrest, the Officer will implement and successfully complete the Administrative License Suspension (ALS) process, including the ALS hearing, in accordance with Forsyth County Office Sheriff’s Standard Operating Procedure. 2. Enabling Objectives a. Identify the purpose of an ALS. b. Describe the procedures for initiating an ALS. c. Discuss ways to prepare for the ALS hearing. d.
