How to Use the Safe Sitter® Instructor Manual
Your Safe Sitter® the Safe Sitter®
Essentials with CPR, or Safe Sitter®
Instructor Manual is organized by sections, with each tab representing an individual section of program. You can use this manual whether you are teaching Safe Sitter® Expanded.
Essentials, Safe Sitter®
Each tabbed section begins with an overview of the time, supplies, teaching strategies, and learning objectives involved in teaching that section. Following the overview, there is a script for you to use as you teach. Instructor lines are bolded throughout the section, while suggested student answers to guided questions appear in parentheses. Directions to Instructors appear in brackets.
The teaching strategies utilized include:
• Guided discussion, including planned questions. • Matching activities, which students will complete in their Student Handbook. • Role-plays, involving both students and Instructors. • Hands-on demonstrations. • Skills practice. • Games – activities designed to reinforce important class material. • Review questions.
The Safe Sitter® program is designed to be highly interactive. Give students time to answer the planned
questions; they may need 5-10 seconds to digest the material and craft their answer, particularly at the beginning of class when they may be more shy or reserved. Allow students to share their own experiences, anecdotes, and questions.
You must have a complete Game Pack and Graphics Pack in order to properly teach the Safe Sitter® program.
If you are missing materials, please contact Safe Sitter, Inc. National Headquarters. A note about the Graphics Pack: Students should be focused on and engaged with you, not reading from a screen, so the digital presentation has been designed to supplement your presentation of the material and meet students’ needs. The presentation will aid visual learners, reinforce important concepts, and keep students attuned to each topic. If you cannot use the digital presentation because of technology limitations, print out the PDF graphics included in your Graphics Pack (designed to print as 11x17 posters), post them at the front of the room, and refer to them as you teach.
Finally, the Safe Sitter® program has been painstakingly designed to be developmentally appropriate for young
adolescents and follow best practices for student engagement. DO NOT add anything to the course without preapproval from Safe Sitter, Inc. National Headquarters.
Thank you for your commitment to teaching Safe Sitter® . Please do not hesitate to contact Safe Sitter, Inc. National Headquarters with questions at
