The document provides guidance on selecting and preparing instructional materials. It recommends that instructors thoroughly familiarize themselves with the content of all materials used, and choose materials that are appropriate for the teaching format and consistent with students' capabilities and learning styles. Additionally, instructors should objectively select materials based on their ability to contribute to learning outcomes and produce locally-made materials when possible. Effective preparation involves readying oneself, students, the materials, and following up.
