Hi All,
Hi All,
-
Thank you for agreeing to help out with the SAR Basics course this year.
+
Thank you each so much for agreeing to help with the presentations at
 +
Pincher SAR's 2016 SAR Basics course.
-
This e-mail is a general overview.
+
The sections you've agreed to help with are shown on the schedule. Each
 +
section has a presenter's name beside it as well as how long the section
 +
is, and the expected start time. See:
-
The course details are all on Pincher SAR's wiki:

+
For most sections we have a fairly well-developed lesson plan. Click on
 +
the name of the section and it will take you to the lesson plan. Some
 +
of the content (e.g. the slides from ERI Canada) are copyright and so
 +
you'll need to log in to see or download them.
-
Click on this year's course listed under the "Runnings" section.
+
All of you have accounts on our wiki from previous times you've helped
 +
out. If it's been a while since you've logged in, read the help:
-
The "Booking" section shows the start and end time of each day and where the course is run.
 
-
 
-
The "Agenda" has a link that will take you to the detailed schedule for each day.
 
-
 
-
Your name will be beside the modules that we're asking you to help present. If there are any other modules you'd like to help with, let me know.
 
-
 
-
Each module has a link to instructional support material for that module.
 
-
 
-
As much as possible we try to make our training materials public so they are easily accessible and can be used by other SAR groups.
 
-
 
-
However we do also keep training materials that because of copyright can't be made public. You'll need to sign into the wiki to access those materials.

If you are a member of PCSAR or the CRG, you already have an account. You just need to follow the instructions above to access it.
+
If you need any help, let me know.
-
If you aren't a member, we can set you up with a "Trusted Guest" account. If you've helped out in previous years, you probably already have one. Otherwise let me know, and we can set you up.

Much of the material is stuff you or other presenters developed for

previous runnings of the course. If you make improvements, please

-
Alternatively you can ask me to send you the material off the wiki. But it's probably not going to be as organized and useful as if you access it yourself.
+
-
 
+
-
The instructional support material for each module includes:
+
-
* a copy of the relevant chapter of the textbook
+
-
* a copy of the slides (powerpoint) from ERI Canada
+
-
 
+
-
For those of us that have taken the ERI SAR Basics/Fundamentals Instructor's Course, you'll know that's really all that instructors are supplied with. But we've continued to enhance our instructional materials. You should also find:
+
-
 
+
-
* A lesson plan (rudimentary for some modules, well-developed for others)
+
-
* Additional slide decks, customized or original
+
-
* Hand-outs
+
-
* Exercise designs

We pay our presenters, exercise facilitators and aides a modest fee. Please keep track of your time in preparation before the course, time at the course, and time in clean up. Also track your mileage. If you have any printing expenses or supplies, we'll cover that too. Please submit your expenses to our Administrator <pcsar.admn@gmail.com>.

Lunches are provided to everyone at the course. Let us know if you have any food allergies.

Finally, could you please take a look at the bio we have for you and update it as appropriate:
