Session One: Focuses on developing a philosophy for teaching and specific teaching skills. Even though we will be working with experienced instructors, we feel that this is the best way to begin any in-depth training session. It helps all of us function together on a higher level, and it provides a model for effective,
proven instruction technique student may find useful in their own classes.
Session Two: We will be presenting the standard Practical Ice Rescue class. The morning session is conducted in the classroom. It covers the required NFPA Operations level knowledge. We use archival videotapes to help analyze actual ice rescues.
Modules covered include: Overview of ice rescue - Ice and frigid water environment -Hypothermia - Emotional environment of rescue work - Equipment for ice rescue - Preplanning for ice rescue
After lunch, we go on-site to practice ice rescue skills. These include the basic requirements for NFPA technician level (self rescue, Go rescue, specialty craft rescue) as well as advanced skills for multiple, unresponsive, trauma and submerged victims. We use the RDC Rapid Deployment Craft extensively throughout the class.
This session ends in the classroom with one last videotape for critique and the wrap-up final exam.
Session Three: This session "dissects" the Practical Ice Rescue course, examining effective ways of teaching each of the modules. We will work through all of the classroom information and discuss the on-site practical exercises.
Session Four: Sunday morning we finish classroom discussion and view additional AV materials. We do an equipment maintenance workshop and additional in-water training for advanced ice rescue techniques and ice rescue suit comparisons.
Follow-Up: Each student will receive certificates for both the standard Technician and the Instructors' classes. If there is a serious question about an individual's ability as an instructor, we will telephone the individual first and subsequently discuss our concerns with his/her department head.
