Spanish for Firefighters and EMS - Instructor
Guide
Some
agencies prefer a more structured approach than self-study alone and
so PSLT has developed and delivered instructor led
courses
with students using the self-study materials. Two of these courses
have been certified by the California P.O.S.T.
If
you're bi-lingual, or have a bi-lingual colleague, you can help your
department become self-sufficient in Spanish language training. This
Instructor Guide is designed to assist instructors to plan and
lead classroom sessions using “Tactical Spanish for
Firefighters and EMS” as a basis. Attendees will each use the
self-study materials for homework assignments and as a refresher when
the classroom sessions are complete.
The Instructor Guide includes
a suggested schedule of topics for each classroom session along with techniques and tips
for leading classroom sessions in an enjoyable and effective
environment. These are the same techniques developed and used by PSLT
with our existing clients. We suggest 10 sessions, each of three hours
duration.
Guidance
is also provided for evaluating each attendee's progress - each class
builds on the previous class so if an attendee is struggling then the
earlier this is identified and addressed the better for the attendee.
Prospective instructors should be
English/ Spanish bi-lingual and familiar with Latino culture. Some
public speaking or adult teaching experience is helpful but not
necessary.
For
each classroom session, guidance is provided as follows:
Th e
instructor will receive up to two hours of individual coaching from Alejandra
Gomez and will be certified by PSLT to lead the training course
"Spanish for Firefighters
and EMS" on successful completion of the coaching. Certified
instructors will have access to the downloads section of our website where
hundreds of flash cards are available containing key words and expressions.
By
the time you get to session 8 (the sample below), you will already be familiar
with many of the techniques described in earlier sections of the Instructor
Guide. Please take a look at Session
1 in the Instructor Guide to see some of these techniques described and then
click
here to read the instructor guidance for session
8 which covers Breathing Problems, Chest Pains and Abdominal Disorder. The
student materials for part of this session can be seen and heard below.
Please
note that the student transcript and the instructor guidance will each open in a
separate "pop-up" window. If you have "pop-up blocking"
enabled in your security software, or for example in your Google Toolbar, this
should be disabled (note: Ctrl and Click will often bypass pop-up blocking).
The cost is only $200 (plus
8.25% Sales Tax in California) plus $11 Shipping and Handling. You
can obtain our BEST VALUE if you also
purchase a copy of the student materials (Tactical
Spanish for Firefighters and EMS). Only $230 for both courses (plus 8.25% Sales Tax in California) plus $11 Shipping and Handling. A
Saving of $30 !!
