(a) Provide read-ahead slides at least three days prior to briefing execution.
(b) Rehearse. Conduct multiple rehearsals of the brief to varied audiences. Rehearsals help refine the information, streamline thought processes, boost confidence and enable a briefer to anticipate questions. Rehearsals should include automations and technology for familiarization and to minimize unwanted surprises or delays during the brief.
(c) Remain open-minded to feedback from AAR.
b. Instructor/Facilitator:
(1) Role. Faculty assists students with briefing prior to date of execution. This includes providing guidance and assisting with questions on the subject, providing feedback on individual briefing style and technique, and providing suggestions to assist in the oral communication development.
(2) Responsibilities:
(a) Provide honest, candid feedback to students on oral communication skills while ensuring specific stylistic preference is not considered when evaluating.
(b) Provide feedback on student outlines no later than 24 hours from receipt. The intent is for students to have two days to adjust briefing as needed.
(c) Provide assessment of brief to each student no later than three days from the date of execution. At no point will a student be required to brief another requirement without having the opportunity to apply principles learned from previous briefs.
