Instructor Materials

Student Workbook The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid Student Workbook comes with a student CD with supplemental information and reminder cards for CPR and AED.

Encourage students to

• Read the workbook before coming to class

• Answer review questions

• Bring the workbook to class

• Follow along during class

• Refer to the workbook after class

• Refer to the student CD for additional information

Skills Testing Checklists Reproduction Masters

The Heartsaver instructor CD includes testing checklists for the following skills:

• Adult CPR and AED

• Infant CPR

Use the checklists to test the students during the skills tests. Instructors must have at least one of these testing checklists for each student in the course, with a few extra for students who may need remediation.

Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid Videos

The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid videos come in DVD or VHS format. The videos include all the lessons that you need to teach the entire course. They include demon-stration lessons and practice lessons. Most of the practice lessons require students to practice while watching the video.

Inhaled Medications Video

Some states and organizations require detailed training on inhaled medications for breathing problems such as asthma. The California EMS Authority’s Asthma Care Training for Child Care Providers includes detailed training on different medications for children with breathing problems.

It is included on the Heartsaver DVD. If you selected VHS format when you ordered the Heartsaver instructor materials, you may have a separate VHS tape.

If you use the Asthma Care Training for Child Care Providers video, it will lengthen the course by at least 20 minutes.

Instructor CD The instructor CD includes materials to help you prepare for and conduct the course. See the front of this instructor manual for detailed contents.

Lesson Maps The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid lesson maps are a series of cards with information about what each lesson includes.

Review the lesson maps before class to understand your role and the necessary equip-ment.

Use the lesson maps throughout the course to know what each lesson includes and what you need to do to help the students meet their learning objectives for each lesson.

Additional Topics to Meet State Requirements

Some states require that topics be covered for child care workers that aren’t included in the course. The AHA has created materials, organized by state, to cover these addi-tional first aid topics.

Check the American Heart Association Instructor Network to print handouts for these additional topics (www.ahainstructornetwork.org). Instructors should distribute the handouts and cover the information during the course.

Instructor Preparation Is Essential

Instructor Preparation

Preparing to teach the Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid Course is essential. Before you teach this course, you must take the time to review in detail the video and lesson maps for the course. As you view the video and the lesson maps, note how the course is organized and what the course expects of you and the students. Make notes on your lesson maps as needed.

This important preparation will enable you to teach the course more effectively and anticipate what you will need to do as the course unfolds.

This is especially true for those parts of the course when you have to pause the video

to give information, to organize students for practice or testing, to distribute equipment

and course materials, or to give the written tests. Without adequate preparation, you will be less successful teaching this Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid Course.

Testing for Course Completion

Course Completion Requirements

To receive a completion card, Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid students must pass skills tests by successfully passing these skills:

• CPR and AED

• Infant CPR (if you teach the optional infant lessons)

Giving Breaths: Using a Mask

For the breaths steps in the CPR + AED skills test and the Infant CPR skills test, the student will give breaths with a mask.

When to Give Tests

You will test students while students are practicing during the practice and test lessons in the course.

• The CPR/AED practice and test lesson is HS PFA A/C 20.

• If you are teaching the infant CPR lessons, the practice and test lesson is HS PFA INF 8.

Written Test Requirements

After each section of the course, students will answer a few written test questions. There is no pass-fail requirement for this written test.

How to Do the Written Tests

Pause the video at the end of each section of the course where a written test is done. The written tests are done at the end of these sections of the course:

• First Aid Basics

• Medical Emergencies

• Injury Emergencies

• Environmental Emergencies

• Optional Topics

You will give the tests in this way:

• Pause the video for each written test (see lesson maps for specific test lessons).

• Tell the students to open their workbooks and turn to the questions for that section of the course.

• Tell them to answer all the questions in that section.

• When the students are finished answering the questions in that section, tell the stu-dents the answers to each question and the page reference for each question. (The answer key is on the instructor CD.)

• Tell the students that they may want to write down the page reference or any other notes under the “Your Notes” column on the test form.

• Do not answer detailed questions. There is not time in the course for a detailed discussion of each question. If a student has difficulty understanding a test answer, tell the student that you will discuss it with him at another time (during a break or after the course).

There is no “pass/fail” on these written tests. These tests are for students to review important concepts in the course. Do not collect the tests.
