FOUR-STEP DELIVERY METHOD NLC instructors use the Four-Step Delivery Method to teach every lesson in the classroom and every skill in the field. Teaching adult craftworkers involves more than just talking to students and showing PowerPoint slides. Learning a technical skill requires more than just watching someone perform a complicated task. Meaningful learning involves practice and repetition of knowledge, skill, and behaviors guided by a master in the trade. To help students learn, NLC developed the Four-Step Delivery Method. This practical approach to teaching is designed to help students understand why a topic is important and to safely apply learning in field and classroom training. Lessons are structured to combine hands-on practice, repetition, and feedback from master craft educators to ensure students achieve success. The four steps create a framework for students to learn new information—and advance their skills in the classroom.
