Subject
What is this lesson plan about?
This lesson plan is about preventing, identifying and treating cold-weather injuries.
As a team, students work through related scenarios in the classroom and deal hands-on with equipment. They make decisions and discuss them (knowledge skills) and demonstrate techniques (performance skills). The scenario is paused when necessary to address any gaps in skills.
This format is designed to maximize the participation of the students, and avoiding the complaints of a dry lecture.
