| 8:30 AM | Cindy Tait, MICP, RN, CEN, CFRN, MPH Educator Track This presentation is based on the world-renowned program by Ron Huff titled, "I Can See You Naked: A Fearless Guide to Making Great Presentations." Cindy puts a fire and EMS educator spin on the top 35 tips that will help make your classroom presentation, skills sessions and preceptor experiences fun, effective, productive and worthwhile for you and your students. |
| 3:00 PM | Heather Davis, MS, NREMT-P Educator Track Active disengagement is the term used to describe students who are not being disruptive, but are also not participating or paying attention in class. In this session, Heather explains the cost of active disengagement and its effect on class climate, classroom behavior, instructor energy and outcomes. Participants in this class will learn to identify behavior that personifies active disengagement and implement three techniques to address or prevent it from happening. |
| 4:30 PM | David Page, MS, NREMT-P Educator Track We know that the clinical experience is a magical and effective learning environment, but what are students experiencing when they leave the classroom? How do you measure those experiences? A national grassroots effort to collectively track and describe the elusive and magical "clinical experience" has yielded unprecedented online collaboration, educational research data and academic debate. This session will focus on lessons learned through online collaboration, and the challenges of accurately tracking clinical experiences and measuring competency. |

| 8:00 AM | Mike Touchstone, BS, EMT-P Educator Track During this session, Mike will examine the steps of the instructional design process and its application for developing and evaluating educational programs. Whether you're creating your own or evaluating someone else's educational program, the ADDIE instructional design process provides useful methodology and information and will better prepare you for the radical change coming with the new National Education Standards. |
| 9:30 AM | Heather Davis, MS, NREMT-P Educator Track Are you ready for the new education standards? Do you even know what needs to be done to get yourself and your colleagues ready for these impending programmatic changes? Attend this session to learn what is required, what is suggested, and how to decide how you'll implement the changes in a way that leaves your program stronger and your students better prepared for the future of EMS. |
| 11:00 AM | Baxter Larmon, PhD, MICP Educator Track Academics are the hallmark of a profession. If we consider EMS a profession, we need to look at the way we educate our young. This lecture will explore where we are and where EMS education needs to grow in the future. Join Baxter to learn how education can drive the profession of EMS. |
| 3:00 PM | Heather Davis, MS, NREMT-P Educator Track We all know that lecturing is the least effective method of delivering information to students and that most of them remember as little as 10% of what we say. Attend this session to learn how to replace your lectures with classroom activities, discussion and work groups that do not take more class time and do yield better educational results, as evidenced by better student evaluations, longer retention of information, and knowledge at a higher level of the cognitive domain. |
| 4:30 PM | Mike Grill, MS, NREMT-P Educator Track Team-based learning shifts the focus of student classroom time from "passive listener" to "active doer," simultaneously forcing the instructor to step back from the traditional role of "sage on the stage" to the facilitator role of "guide on the side." This hands-on session will begin the process of discovering how to create a learning-centered (as opposed to grade-centered) classroom environment and show participants how to apply key principles of TBL, including: key elements of properly forming student teams; participating in and learning the power of the readiness assurance process for providing frequent and timely performance feedback; and identifying the four S's of team assignments that are realistic, fun and applicable to real-world issues in prehospital care. |

| 8:00 AM | Mike Touchstone, BS, EMT-P Educator Track During this collaborative learning program, Mike will examine and deconstruct an adaptation of Ken Blanchard's Situation Leadership model and adapt it for use in the educational environment. By recognizing the various needs of students, educators adjust their teaching style to fuel the students' progress through sequential stages of increasingly complex activity, says Mike. The class will also include a review of Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning objectives and continue with a discussion of how this tool can be used to measure progress toward mastery and expert practice. |
| 9:30 AM | Kyle Bates, MS, NR/CCEMT-P, FP-C Educator Track Tired of the same old lectures? Slides full of words getting to you? How do you think your students feel? In this presentation, Kyle will introduce you to the C.H.E.A.T.E.D. format for creating your own case study while giving you new ideas, as well as photographic tips and tricks. |
| 2:00 PM | Kyle Bates, MS, NR/CCEMT-P, FP-C Educator Track It is said that "a picture is worth a thousand words." Nowhere does this hold more true than in the classroom. For new or inexperienced providers, certain descriptions like cyanosis or pursed lips may be ambiguous when using the spoken word, but add a picture and they associate the term to the sign. This lecture will discuss the use of photographs when developing visual presentations, focusing on techniques you can use to enhance the impact of your photographs. |
