Modern adult learners do not respond well to the lecture-based approach used in many fire service organizations. Dynamic teaching involves challenging the student to present ideas, support those ideas, and to critically assess their ideas and the ideas of others to create a clear understanding and mental model of the message the instructor is delivering. .
