I'm a Specialist and my NCOs said I need to step up and start teaching the young FOs. I'm wanting to become an NCO and my own plan of action begins here. Any slide shows anything at all will help!

Forget slides. Use task conditions and standards and a butcher block. Hands on training with actual stuff they will have to use.

Extremely disappointed in the great ideas that fellow leaders have posted without giving you any actual assistance in developing training.
You have a couple options, you can access the Army Training Network and do a search for all these great ideas to get the performance steps and measures. Second, you can access the Fires Knowledge Network through AKO, down the left hand column search Field Artillery, and again search Reachback training materials, which will give you a list of powerpoints that are taught in AIT and at JFO.

Ensure they understand the basics before you start off with more advanced knowledge like CAS and JFO techniques. Make sure they understand the 6 elements of CFF. I would make sure they memorize it. If not they will be stuck to there little books and have no clue. You need to make sure you know it to. Best way is to sometimes start at the bottom to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Make learning fun. Do a Fist jeopardy, or issue them a written test to see where they are all at. Tons of tests out there, plus you can tweak them up if needed. Maybe write your own.

This guy knows the deal. UNDERSTANDING your 6 elements and becoming familiar with your equipment and assets- those are the things to start with. Even sitting around in the office you can have your guys verbally cff to you and use proper etiquette.
This is also a great way to help yourself learn. I always understood better after guys ask questions and get me thinking outside my own curriculum. Good luck
