Please plan to complete the ALL online lessons of your training prior to your first on-site skills session which is scheduled for June Class - FRI, June 2, 2022.

As you complete the online lessons, please print a Round of Completion Sheet at the end of each lesson.

Bring ALL Round Completion Sheet to each on-site skills session to verify completion of the online lessons.

Prior to June Class - FRI, June 3, 2022 the first on-site skill session, be sure to complete ALL on-line sections Swimming and Water Safety Program.

Please also complete the following:

Develop your 4 practice teaching assingments, using the ARC Sample Lesson Plan format. PLEASE NOTICE THE LEVEL (LTS 1-6 or PSA, or adult)

You need to develop and will present one lesson plan for each of the 4 practice teaches assigned. We will review this lesson plan, and you will get a chance to “practice teach it” – using the other instructor candidates as students (pretending to be whatever age you tell them to be). This lesson plan should include the skill that you were assigned (these come from the Red Cross, not me). You may not get through the whole lesson – after, we have a chance to talk about your lesson.

As a WSI, when you start teaching, before you teach you will always need to develop block plans…. From the block plan you will be developing lesson plans. So this gives you a chance to practice.

You decide how long the lesson will be and if your lesson would be in a pool (or at a lake) – the drills and games should be age appropriate – using kick boards, noodles, fins, … there is equiment at LHY – that sink and that float.
