c. Career Path: Positions in this series progress in the grade bands described as the Professional/ Administrative Career Path in the CIPMS Classification Procedures Guide for General Schedule Positions.

Part I - Section B

The following information supplements the above discussion to aid in the placement and classification of Army positions.

1. Coverage:

a. Included in the GS-1701/1712 Intelligence Education Group are all positions in which intelligence education and training constitute the majority of the position's duties and/or work time, and where the primary function or mission of the organization in which the position is located is tied to the intelligence education field. This is normally true regardless of specific subject matter area knowledges required (Other than education or training) with the exception noted below. For example, education and training positions requiring specific areas of intelligence knowledge, such as in the GS-132 series or intelligence-related areas such as electronics technician work (GS-856 series), would be placed in the GS--1701/1712 series.

b. Positions which do not meet the definitions in A1 and A2 above, but meet the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) definitions for education and training series normally in the professional/administrative career path such as the GS-1701 or GS-1712 and other similar series, and which are covered by CIPMS under organizational or discretionary coverage will be classified by the criteria in this AOG. The GS-1701 or GS-1712 series will be used following the general principles discussed in Part I.A. above. Official position titles will be determined using the flexibilities described in Part II for parenthetical titling. Grade levels will be determined through appropriate application of Part II as cross-referenced where necessary with the Primary Grading Standard, Part 2.

2. Exclusions:

a. Positions requiring as the primary qualification requirement full academic or other formal qualifications of sciences or engineering. Such positions will be classified to the appropriate series such as GS-855 Electronics Engineer, GS-1310 Physicist, etc.

b. Positions which involve performance of technician work in support of professional-administrative programs. Such work requires application of a practical knowledge of procedures, techniques, rules and methods of the work supported. These positions typically perform one-grade interval work and are classified in the specialized series that best fits the type of work supported such as, for example, the GS-1702 Education and Training Technician Series. Grade level criteria are provided by reference to the AOG for Technician Occupations.

c. Positions which involve performance of clerical work directly in support of an office or program. Such work requires knowledge of office clerical procedures and requirements to process transactions, maintain records, and compile information auxiliary to the office. These positions perform one-grade interval work and are typically classified in the Secretary (GS-318), Clerk-Typist (GS-322), or other similar series that best provides a recruitment source. The work is evaluated by reference to the OPM position classification standard for the series.

d. Positions which serve as student trainees at the pre-professional level are classified to the appropriate GS-xx99 series, such as the GS-1799 Education Student Trainee Series.

2.Occupational Background Information:

a. Positions in this group have in common the requirement for a combination of education or training knowledge and a knowledge of an intelligence or intelligence-related area. The degree to which either of these knowledges are required varies widely by position and may range from a minimal knowledge of training and education, coupled with a considerable subject matter knowledge (more typical of the GS-1712), to a minimal knowledge of subject matter and a considerable knowledge of education and training (required of the GS-1701). Because it is often difficult to find enough applicants with a substantial knowledge of both, it is usually necessary to recruit for only one of the two requirements and then train the individual in the areas in which they lack training or experience.

b. Education and training of intelligence personnel within the Army is the function of the Education Specialist, Training Specialist, and Training Instructor positions covered under this AOG. These positions may exist in Army level organizations (e.g. Headquarters, Department of Army, Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS, G-2)), MACOM level organizations (e.g., Intelligence and Security Command, Training and Doctrine Command), U.S. Army Service Schools (e.g., U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School), training detachments (e.g., U.S. Army Intelligence School Detachment, Naval Technical Training Center, Corry Station, Pensacola, FL), and at other training organizations. These training organizations conduct a variety of training programs to meet specific military intelligence needs.

c. The nature of the programs, the types of students, and subjects taught are immensely diverse. Training programs could include Advanced Individual Training (AIT), Staff and Faculty Development, Functional, and Career Development courses. AIT is the initial skill-specific training, roughly comparable to apprenticeship training, that focuses on essential entry-level skills necessary for the individual to perform tasks with minimum supervision. Staff and Faculty Development is the conduct of training in instructional techniques and in course development procedures. Functional courses train individuals in skills that are unique to a specific location or type of equipment. Career development training programs are designed to train an individual on skills that are necessary adjuncts to the technical tasks associated with career fields. These skills may be management, leadership related, or technical. Students for the above listed courses/programs include new service members Noncommissioned Officers,. Commissioned Officers, and/or civilian employees. Students graduating from Intelligence training courses are assigned to various tactical, operational and strategic: units worldwide.

d. The basis for the development and conduct of Intelligence training is the Systems Approach to Training (SAT). The systems process has five basic phases. Each of the phases accomplishes a separate and distinct function which could be carried out successively by an individual or group, or each of the steps could be assigned to separate individuals or teams. The five phases of the SAT are as follows:

(1) Phase I - Analysis. The analysis phase is based on a systematic process of collecting, examining, and synthesizing data concerning collective and individual performance requirements. The process begins with a needs analysis, involving the analysis of unit missions and Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and specific duty assignments. The process ends with the production of a list of critical tasks and performance measures and either a recommended training site or job performance aid. Education Specialists and Training Specialists working in this phase are generally assigned to training development elements to collect, examine or synthesize data. In addition, they could be dedicated to review and update of all task lists that drive resident and nonresident training for the intelligence specialties.

(2) Phase II - Design. The design phase deals specifically with the design aspects of training within selected settings. Design here is considered in the architectural sense in which the form and specifications for training are laid down in careful detail. During the design phase, student entry behaviors are defined, the learning processes are sequenced, tests are developed, and the training structure and sequences are delineated. The resulting course blueprints form the basis of all future course development actions. Designs are developed by Training Instructors, Education and/or Training Specialists. Training Instructors and Education and/or Training Specialists may be located in either a training development or instructional element.

(3) Phase III - Development. Development refers to the actual preparation of instruction. During this phase, actions are taken to obtain the necessary instructor and support materials needed to implement the training strategies' outlined in the course designs. In addition, all resources required to conduct resident training are identified for funding support. Training Instructors from the academic elements are the primary developers of the needed training materials such as programs of instruction and lesson plans. Education Specialists and Training Specialists may assist the Training Instructors in this phase.

(4) Phase IV - Implementation. The output of the implementation phase is cost-effective training for both collective and individual tasks. Soldiers trained using either resident or exportable materials must be sufficiently qualified to meet the requirements of the Army's worldwide intelligence mission. Academic training is conducted by Training Instructors of the academic element, and developmental training generally conducted by Education Specialists of the Staff and Faculty Development element.

(5) Phase V - Evaluation. The evaluation phase of the systems process is concerned with maintaining instructional standards and providing data upon which revision decisions can be based. Data collection, evaluation of the data, and decision-making about the implications of the data represent the three principal functions in this phase. Emphasis is placed on the importance of determining whether the trainees are learning what was intended, and upon determining whether what they have learned is of the expected benefit to the receiving command. This determination is made after a careful analysis of evaluation data collected from both internal and external sources. Education Specialists and Training Specialists perform the evaluation and analysis functions of the Activity's evaluation program.

e. Grade Band Bar Illustrations. Typical career ladders for positions in this group with Army are shown below:

GRADES 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

Curriculum or Curricula (pl). A particular area of study, often in a special field; or all the courses of study offered by an education and training institution.

Course. Several phases of instruction grouped together with a well-defined beginning and end. Courses typically range from a few weeks to as long as a year or more, such as Advanced Individual Training, Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course, Functional Courses, and Command and General Staff College.

Phase of Instruction. Several units of instruction which are grouped in a logical sequence. A phase involves a specific set of skills which usually result in the ability to accomplish a broader objective such as a critical task or duty. The length of phases are typically from one to four weeks. Examples of phases of instruction are Maintenance of Receivers, Basic Morse Code, and Counterintelligence Investigations.

Unit of Instruction. Several lessons which are directed towards the attainment of a terminal learning objective typically ranging from one day to one week in length.

Lesson. A segment of instruction with a single objective which typically is from one hour to one day in length. Examples of lessons include, but are not limited to, one hour on how to complete a DA Form 2404, three hours on resistor color code, or eight hours on the Soviet threat.

General Knowledge of Intelligence. A broad, overall understanding of the intelligence organization, mission, operations, disciplines, cycle, and techniques, skills, and knowledges which serve to facilitate the intelligence mission. Knowledge of the intelligence cycle to the degree that there is an understanding of which occupational specialty position performs which function and how that function fits into the intelligence cycle; however, the ability to perform the function is not necessary.. (For example: An academic element director/deputy director position would require a general knowledge of the various occupational specialties taught in the department, and how these specialties fit into the intelligence cycle, but the expertise for performing the function would not be necessary.)

Program of Instruction (POI). The training management document that specifies the purpose, prerequisites, content, course length, resource requirements (instructors and equipment) and sequence of instruction for institutional/resident courses.

Specialty. An occupational area or job classification such as branch, functional area, or area of concentration (AOC) for commissioned officers; branch, functional area, AOC, military occupational specialty (MOS), or MOS code (MOSC) for warrant officers; career management field (CMF), MOS, or MOSC for enlisted personnel; or classification series or occupational discipline for civilian personnel.

Part II

Grade and Series Criteria

Part II's discussion divides the duties functionally between specialist and teacher/instructor rather than series. The discussions are for use in determining the grade levels of nonsupervisory positions involved in the field of intelligence education in duties typical of the GS-1701 or GS-1712 series. Information is also given on parenthetical titling, functions, corresponding DISCAS codes for the Intelligence Career Development Program, and grade band descriptions. Such information should be helpful in the placement of personnel and in developing training plans as well as in the classification of the positions.

This guide is multi-series in approach and may be used to evaluate instruction duties and responsibilities of mixed positions. In such cases, this guide is applied in .conjunction with the appropriate guide(s). that covers the majority of the positions' duties. Some positions may not be adequately evaluated by the criteria provided in this guide, because of the particular subject matter knowledge or level of knowledge required. In these instances, use the appropriate guide to evaluate the subject matter aspects of the position in conjunction with this guide.

Under "Occupational Background Information" in Part I, the discussion of the SAT indicates that both specialists and instructors are involved in curriculum and course development. The primary difference between that which is completed by the specialist as compared to that completed by the instructor is that the latter's involvement usually relates specifically to courses which the instructor (or coworkers or lower-graded instructors) will teach. For example, instructors will supplement course material and/or develop material for changes occurring in their area or for better ways of teaching their subject. They may have the responsibility for the overall maintenance of their assigned courses, including the initiation of any change needed to improve the course. The specialists are much more involved in the systems' work--the design phase and in technical aspects of development and evaluation, ensuring all parts of the phases (e.g., tests, aids, training plans, etc.) are completed to meet specific standards and practices. With the exception of an education specialist involved in staff and faculty development (teaching others "how to" teach), an education or training specialist's primary duty will not be platform instruction. Each section below is divided by this difference--the specialist's duties in positions where the primary responsibility is not platform instruction is discussed first; then discussed are positions for which the primary reason for the positions' existence is platform instruction. Evaluation of positions which are mixed in terms of specialist and instructor should consider both discussions.

The grade level criteria in this guide must be applied in accordance with the principles and procedures described in the CIPMS Classification Procedures Guide for General Schedule Positions. Not all aspects of assignments are discussed and work examples are not designed to be all inclusive bat have been selected for assistance in comparing an individual position's assignments and responsibilities to the guide. Points derived by this guide are converted to grade levels by the Grade Conversion Table in the Classification Procedures Guide, Appendix A (Primary Grading Standard), Part 2.

SECTION A - TITLES

In addition to the official title specified in Part I, a parenthetical title will be added. For most positions, the general parenthetical title will be "(Intelligence)," which may be abbreviated as "(Intel)."

When the position requires the employee to apply a substantial and intensive specialized knowledge in addition to intelligence and education/training knowledges (for example, electronics), and this knowledge is reflected in qualifications requirements for the position, a more specific parenthetical title is authorized as part of the official title. Other specializations which do not meet the above requirements may be specified as functional or organizational titles in the body of the job description.

SECTION B - DISCAS CODES

EDUC & TRNG

Work involving the administration, coordination, conduct, and/or management of activities in a program of education or training which requires the application of a knowledge of principles, practices, and techniques pertaining to such programs. Work entails application of the individual phases (steps) within the Systems Approach to Training (SAT) to staff development, as well as to produce resident and nonresident education and training programs and products.

INSTRCT

Presenting classroom instruction in an occupation or subject, where the essential qualifications are a mastery of the knowledge and skills characteristic of a given occupation or subject, and a practical knowledge of the methods and techniques of instruction.

SECTION C - DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS AND GRADE BAND DESCRIPTIONS

INSTRUCTOR

Instructor positions within the intelligence community require a knowledge of education and[ training practices and procedures, as well as a wide range of subject matter expertise depending on the intelligence discipline taught.

All instructor positions in the intelligence community involve competencies in such areas as curriculum planning and course development: instructional procedures and techniques, counseling and evaluating students, and providing technical advice and assistance in a specific subject field. The positions differ from each other in the kind and extent of the knowledge required and by the level of assigned instruction.

Providing education and training to meet specific intelligence learning needs involves many activities and many competencies. Instructors develop, revise, or adapt ongoing or future courses. This may involve planning, developing, or selecting course content, and developing training aids and other necessary training materials for a given curriculum. Preparation includes selecting, organizing training materials and aids for each session, and also developing supplemental training materials and aids as needed. Conducting training sessions involves using appropriate techniques and approaches and adjusting the instruction as class needs require. Some instructional situations differ from traditional classroom environments and involve learning programs that are student self-paced through use of special learning systems/devices (e.g., interactive video disc programs). In these situations, the instructor guides the students in the use of the training device or system and acts as a training facilitator.
