Using the Instructor Manual
This Instructor Manual is organized by sections. Each section contains a script for you to use as you teach. Instructor lines are bolded throughout the section, while suggested participant answers to planned questions appear in parentheses. Directions to Instructors appear in brackets.
The teaching strategies utilized include:
• Guided discussion • Hands-on demonstration • Skills practice • Role-play
This program is designed to be highly interactive. Give participants time to answer the planned questions; they may need 5-10 seconds to digest the material and construct their answer. Some participants may be more reserved; others may be eager to share their thoughts. Allow participants to share their own experiences, anecdotes, and questions, but keep an eye on the clock so that you don’t run out of time to cover each section before the end of class.
The participants in this program will likely be shaped by their own experiences as parents, and their opinions may occasionally conflict with the guidance in this course. Remind participants that your role is to share current best practices with caregivers that are based on guidance from pediatricians. In addition, this guidance may differ from what they were taught as young parents because the guidance has evolved through the years based on new research, and it continues to evolve today.
You must have a complete set of course materials, including a Graphics Pack, to teach this program. If you are missing materials, please contact Safe Sitter, Inc. National Headquarters.
