The iFTI is excited to announce the successful completion of Capstone projects by our 4 newly conferred iFTI Master Instructors! Since December of 2023, the Master Instructor candidates have dedicated numerous hours gathering, organizing, and creating content and materials to develop a unit of instruction that fulfills an identified need. These culminating projects allowed the candidates to display the lessons in instructional design and teaching techniques learned throughout the iFTI Associate and Master Instructor programs.
We commend the following iFTI Capstone completers on their hard work and achievements and recognize the support and guidance provided by their peers, advisors and Directors of Training throughout their Capstone experience.
iFTI Master Instructors (April 2024) L to R:
- Angel Galloza, DC 11 Door Hardware Technician
- Veronica Leal, DC 14 Commercial Vinyl Applications
- Todd Schroeder, DC 7 Mental Health Awareness
- LisaMarie Hanson, DC 36 Substance Use and Mental Health
The capstone projects covered a range of interests and topics, including substance use and mental health awareness, commercial vinyl applications, mental health and EAP awareness, and door hardware technician installation/deinstallation. Each candidate not only presented content relevant to our members but also displayed their talents and a desire to make a positive impact on the members they serve.
The completion of the Capstone projects demonstrates the practical application of skills and knowledge in not only a topic of interest and need but also the application of instructional design principles to create engaging and effective learning experiences that help improve the performance and productivity of the members.
The iFTI Master Instructor Capstone class was led by iFTI Instructor/Advisors Alice Gwinn and Lisa Berlin of the iFTI Curriculum Department with full support from the Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Tom Pfundstein.
