LEARN – DAY 15Construction Foundation Course

Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 1

• Check-in: Shake hands. Remind students: binders, seating. Start class.

• Review the day: Review the day’s activities from the list on the board or chart paper.

• Binder check: This can be done at any time during the day.

THE FORMAT FOR FIRST AND SECOND HOURS IS THE SAME AS DAY 11

Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 2

120 minutes:

• Curriculum: Centers should choose a curriculum with nationally-recognized certification, such as the American Red Cross or American Heart Association.

• Instructors: Instructors for this curriculum unit may need to be certified by the national organization. They do not have to be health professionals, although that would be an asset.

• Length: There are 9 hours allotted for the curriculum unit plus one additional hour on Friday for the certification exam (and additional study prior to the exam, if time allows.) This may be slightly longer or shorter than your traditional curriculum, so you may need to adjust your timing slightly. Note that the Foundation Course asks you to include trade vocabulary and note-taking (see below) which may require a small amount of additional time.

CPR – First Aid

Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 3

• Materials/equipment/textbooks: Most centers will have the required materials, books, and equipment, as CPR/First Aid is regularly taught as a part of CNA and other career technical courses in Health occupations.

• Instructional strategies: Note-taking guides formatted like Advance Organizers (i.e., questions column on the left, notes on the right, summary at the bottom) should be used throughout the CPR/First Aid unit, even if they haven’t been before. This will  

- give students the information to study for the certification test in a structure they’re used to, while emphasizing the need to take notes on all material;

- hold students responsible for recording the main ideas in films, demonstrations, and mini-lectures during the unit; and

- allow students to ask intelligent, targeted questions about the material both at the time of presentation and in review.

 

Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 4

 • Trade vocabulary: In addition to the notes discussed above

and the traditional materials used in the course, instructors will need to incorporate the CPR/First Aid vocabulary terms as flashcards. There is no set list, as the terms may vary by provider (e.g., Red Cross, American Heart Association) and by region; however, there is a basic list we’ve compiled that is part of the Part II – Vocabulary Cards section. If you include additional terms, provide 3 x 5 cards for these. Ask students to write the term on one side of the card and the definition on the other side. Like the note-taking, use of this basic strategy is important to ensure continuity in learning/practicing important concepts.

• Stretch breaks: Incorporate as appropriate.  Snack Break (9:30-9:40) 

Week Three: Day 15 (Friday)Third and Fourth Hours (9:40 – 11:30) - 1

• Reflect. Lead a whole-group reflection on the week, focusing on the following questions for approximately 15 minutes:

- How does the reality of Job Corps compare to what you thought it would be like before you arrived?

- In what ways are you different as a student here than you were in traditional high school?

- What is the most interesting thing you’ve learned in the Foundation Course so far?

• Write. Ask students to write 2 sentences on one of the above 3 topics. Explain that their feedback will be shared with the Center Director so he/she can know how they are doing since they arrived on center. Share with a partner to edit

and turn it in.
