Defining The Problem
Problem Statement:
Instructors generally lack understanding and confidence in their
abilities to operate JUMS.
Facts bearing on the Problem:
- JUMS is time consuming
- JUMS is too complicated
- SAIs tend to be JUMS primary
- Many Instructors have a ‘JUMS niche’, not comprehensive
- JUMS is an admin burden
- Underappreciate the importance of reports
**All of the above contributes to lack of intrinsic motivation**
The ‘Solution’
Overall Objective: Increase confidence and working knowledge
(NOT to develop mastery)
Theme 1: Help is available….and it’s easy to get help!
Theme 2: Core functions are important to Instructors…and Cadets
Theme 3: Good reports = resources for you and your Cadets
Theme 4: Maintain accountability (Stay out of jail) and save time!
JUMS Lesson Plan Overview
Why is this lesson important?
Both Instructors and Cadets benefit from JUMS. Instructors motivate Cadets
by rewarding them for their participation and performance (awards, volunteer
hour reports etc). Additionally, JUMS reporting is a Dept of the Army
requirement. Timely and accurate JUMS reports ultimately ensure resources
which benefit Cadets and the entire program.
Essential Question: How can I utilize JUMS to be a more efficient Instructor?
Lesson Competency: Establish a working knowledge of JUMS
Learning Objectives:
• Location of the JUMS User Guide – User primary resource for “How To”
• Working knowledge of Cadet awards, events, promotions, positions, and
co-curricular activities entered in JUMS (Cadet Challenge example)
• Working knowledge of JUMS reports, completion data and submission
timelines
• Working knowledge of Unit Clothing Shelf and Cadet clothing issue/return
functions
Planning Assumptions
• Instructors have JUMS access and Internet Explorer 11
• Two hours allocated to JUMS training at BDE Workshops
• A/V and IT available (Wifi, Projector, Screens)
• Four Instructors available to facilitate four Training Objectives
• Experienced Instructors are willing to assist during hands-on
• Four (4) target audiences
– Newbies
– Veterans (with newbie JUMS knowledge)
– Veterans (experienced JUMSters)
– Cadets
Planning Considerations
• Time allocation (2 hrs):
– User Guide: 15 min
– Core Functions: 45 min
– Reports: 30 min
– Clothing: 20 min
– Q&A: 10 min
• Four facilitators (one per topic) – frees up the other three to circulate room
• When practical, consider combining PH 3 & 4 (hands-on while conducting
demo)…helps achieve 70/30 rule
• Leverage experienced JUMS Instructors during hands-on – improves
Teacher-to-student ratio and engages experienced Instructors. Identify
‘experienced JUMS Instructors’ up front.
• Assign a note taker. Provide feedback to BDE and JROTC Directorate.
• Evaluation/feedback: Design survey (Google Forms). 8-10 questions. Send
feedback to BDE and JROTC Directorate.
• Share files in Google Drive to SMEs, BDE and JROTC Directorate.
