MCISD/SATE is a set of comprehensive processes, guidelines, tools, and techniques needed to define and close the gap between current and desired job performance through instructional intervention or sustainment training. (paragraph 3)
To illustrate instructional program development from start to finish, the five phases of the MCISD/SATE process are presented sequentially in this handbook - Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE). (paragraph 4)
Validation is a process for trying out instructional materials and course materials prior to implementation to ensure that mastery of the learning objectives is possible and reasonable.
If the instruction does not enable students to reasonably achieve mastery, it should be revised until it does.
All time (academic and non-academic) related to training, must be accounted for in training days and, consequently, in the calendar days of the course. (paragraph 3)
