Teaching resuscitation and first aid By TazHartwick
Key teaching tips Provide opportunity for practice Use realistic victims INTEGRATE first-aid practice with simulated rescue simulations Emphasize basic information Apply theory (keep activities practical) Teach candidates to assess NOT MEMORIZE!
Key teaching tips Use key phrases and acronyms -> RED, CHAMPLE, WARTS. REALISM!!!!! Make simulations and their victims realistic Assign them partners and be strategic (break apart trouble makers!) Use real life stories If a drill isn't working try something else! Insure safety of candidates and make them aware of the limitations of their bodies Use visual aids! Be flexible- space and equipment
Taglines! If I don't hear it, it didn't happen! Lick-able distance! Being a victim is worth 40% of your mark! Louder!
The Final Written Exam! Duh...Duh....Nuuuuuuu
Teaching first-aid skills What teaching approach is best? Could it depend on the class? Their learning styles? Can a skill or drill be taught more then one way? More like 50?
