had the first of my two days of sit-in for CPR class today. it was interesting to see a stranger's style of instructing. i liked how she did some things but definitely not all of it. she just kinda sat there and talked/lectured..i mean, students who are still in school are used to that, but i don't think the older people learned much this way.
i think i'll try to incorporate some learner-oriented ways of instructing this course. maybe some diagrams or try pulling answers out of the class.
i'm not sure if any of you know how to do rescue breathing and CPR, or know the ABCs associated with it, but there are lots of different ratios for compressions and breathing depending on whether the person is an adult, child or infant. there were 17 people in the class and one lady just could not understand what the hell was going on.
i'm not sure if it's just a problem with language, or she really doesn't understand the procedure. i took her away and taught/showed her one on one for about 25 minutes and she still didn't get it. just said, "yeah yeah yeah" a lot. the thing is, when i'm really teaching by myself, i won't be able to teach her one on one. so i'm not sure how i'll handle this situation when i'm by myself. i believe this is the third time she's taking the course and she needs it for work. awwww, i dun wanna do this if i have to fail people! i was okay with failing kids when i taught swimming, but failing adults?? awwww.
time for: some jak. cuz i think i have to return the ps2 tonite.
