D. ASSIGNED IN-CLASS PRESENTATION

IN-CLASS SCENARIO PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT

During your Instructor course, you will conduct an In-Class Scenario Presentation.

20 minutes in duration

Must be fully completed and prepared BEFORE the start of class

 Must be accompanied by a Scenario Lesson Plan…with an extra copy for your Instructor-Trainer

Meets benchmarks as outlined in the Presentations Checklist

Your assigned, specific presentation topics are listed below o With some general guidelines to assist you in preparation.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR YOUR IN-CLASS TEACHING PRESENTATIONS

Presentations will be delivered as though you are teaching to newer First Responder students

Each presentation must be accompanied by a written Lesson Plan.

Bring a second copy of your Lesson Plan to give your Instructor-Trainer o These Lesson Plans will contribute toward your success in your Instructor course .

Feel free to draw on previous training or instructional experiences while developing the Lesson Plans for your presentations. o However…it is important that the specific information delivered is consistent with current Canadian Red

Cross First Responder guidelines. o Whenever possible…ensure that Students will be able to reference and verify the information you provide in either their Student Manuals, or additional hand-outs. o This information, along with guidance on developing your Lesson Plan can be found throughout your course materials. o Basic instructional tools, such as Flipcharts, Whiteboard, Mannequins, AED trainers and first aid supplies will be available, but you may need to provide any special props or materials you require.

Your classmates and your Instructor-Trainer will provide you with Feedback after each presentation, with an emphasis on Instructional Delivery and Technical Accuracy (according to current Canadian Red Cross First

Responder guidelines)

It is not expected that a 20 minute Presentation will cover every possible aspect of each topic o Present 20 minutes’ worth of your topic, in a relevant and learner centered format o DON’T try to cram 60 minutes of material and activities into 20 minutes

EMR Instructor Upgrade | Preparation Checklist

Keeping your students engaged in meaningful activities will generally result in better learning outcomes than making them passively receive information

Prepare your Lesson Plans as though you are presenting these topics to newer learners in an EMR class

Audio-Visual Equipment and Computers o Power point Slideshows, Video Clips and other media can be powerful presentation tools

 They can also be fickle and unreliable if you are unfamiliar with your equipment o If you are planning to use a computer with a Projector / Television screen

 Make sure all your equipment and files are compatible ahead of time

 We strongly recommend that you bring and use your own laptop for that purpose o If you are using someone else’s equipment, with files stored on a data-stick

 Check all aspects of compatibility and functionality well ahead of time o Lesson times should NOT include equipment set-up, maintenance or adjustment

 If you are using media with sound…ensure the volume is sufficient for the classroom

 DO NOT rely on internet connection to play “youtube” style clips or links o If the power goes out…or your equipment fails…the show must go on

PREPARING YOUR SCENARIO PRESENTATION

 Emphasis on applying a student’s existing knowledge and skills in a realistic scenario…and evaluating the student’s performance based on pre-determined criteria, checklists and benchmarks.

This could include: o Arriving on scene, uncovering the nature of the illness or injury, and applying appropriate mitigation measures o Practicing a familiar skill in a new/unusual/unexpected circumstance…requiring on the spot modification

 While remaining within the established parameters and limits of scope and training o Practicing multiple skills in a single scenario…forcing the student to recognize and prioritize multiple problems while maintaining assessment model continuity

Your Canadian Red Cross Emergency Care Instructor Manual refer ences Scenarios…and is an excellent resource for preparing your Presentations o Scenario sheets should include a checklist of skills and required outcomes, assessment findings and

Instructions for patients and bystanders. o After completing the Scenario…participants should have a clear idea of whether or not they met your expectations in their scenario, and what they could improve.

You may find it useful to view a pre-made example of a Checklist for a Scenario Presentation o Download here

You may also find it useful to prepare your own Lesson Plan on a Blank Scenario Template o Download here o You are free to use any format or structure that appeals to you o The Lesson Plan / Scenario Checklist you submit to your Instructor-Trainer forms part of your course completion criteria…and should match the Scenario as performed in class.
