37 The terms “training plan” and “lesson plan” are not synonymous. A training plan is a document developed by a staff member in consultation with the learner. It provides an overview of the skills the learner will need to demonstrate in order to reach her short-term goal. The lesson plan, on the other hand, is a more detailed (and often less formal) way for the tutor to plan the specifics of the tutoring sessions.
