name: sat-courseware description: "Generate SAT methodology-compliant training courseware for Prometheus PCGS 2.0. Use for: (1) Creating lesson plans with proper SAT structure, (2) Generating presentations from course content, (3) Building timetables with duration calculations, (4) Producing trainee handbooks, (5) Exporting course specification sheets, (6) Validating Bloom's Taxonomy alignment. Triggers: lesson plan, presentation, timetable, handbook, course specification, SAT, Bloom's Taxonomy, CLO, learning outcome, training material, courseware, assessment, performance criteria."

SAT Courseware Generation Skill

Systems Approach to Training (SAT) Overview

SAT is a systematic methodology for designing, developing, and delivering training. This skill enables Prometheus to generate SAT-compliant courseware across multiple output formats.

Scalar Hierarchy

The fundamental structure of SAT-compliant training content:

CopyCOURSE
├── Course Learning Outcome (CLO) 1
│   ├── Topic 1.1
│   │   ├── Subtopic 1.1.1
│   │   │   ├── Lesson 1.1.1.A
│   │   │   │   └── Performance Criteria (assessed behaviours)
│   │   │   └── Lesson 1.1.1.B
│   │   └── Subtopic 1.1.2
│   └── Topic 1.2
├── Course Learning Outcome (CLO) 2
│   └── ...
└── Course Learning Outcome (CLO) N

Hierarchy Rules

1. CLO - High-level competency statements (verb + object + condition)
2. Topic - Major subject areas within a CLO
3. Subtopic - Specific focus areas within a topic
4. Lesson - Individual teaching units with defined duration
5. Performance Criteria - Observable, measurable behaviours for assessment

Bloom's Taxonomy Integration

Cognitive Domain Levels

Verb Selection Rules

• CLO verbs MUST match intended cognitive level
• Lower levels support higher levels (e.g., must Remember before Applying)
• Assessment tasks must align with stated cognitive level
• Avoid ambiguous verbs: "know", "understand", "appreciate" (use specific measurable alternatives)

Validation Pattern

CopyCLO: "Evaluate the effectiveness of security protocols"
     └── Cognitive Level: 5 (Evaluate)
     └── Valid verbs: Appraise, Assess, Critique, Judge
     └── Invalid: "Know security protocols" (Level 1)
