Manuals - This folder contains two subfolders: Certification Manual - Student • References to the April 2007 (R0108) Student Manual are included as a part of the presentation/lecture in the Renewal Instructor Manual. • A PDF copy of the student manual is included on the Instructor CD so all Instructors will be able to see exactly what the students have in their manuals. The version that is provided is the “Student Manual Web Quality” optimized for quick viewing on a computer monitor. Renewal Manual - Instructor • The only file in this folder contains a PDF version of the June 2008 CPS Certification Renewal Course Instructor Manual. • All Instructors should receive their own Instructor Manual, but this document can be printed for any Instructor who might not have received theirs through the CPS certification and training program. 4. Participant Handout - This folder contains one file: • Instructors/Administrators should print or make copies of the “Child Passenger Safety Training Program Certification Renewal Course – Participant Handout” for each participant. This handout is a summary of the information covered in the Certification Renewal Course presentation/lecture. • There is no “student manual” for the Certification Renewal Course. Instead, students all receive a copy of the April 2007 (R01/08) Certification Course Student Manual. This manual is theirs to keep even if they do not pass the Certification Renewal Course. 5. Planning and Logistics - This folder contains two subfolders: Sample Agendas • There is no rigid agenda for the Certification Renewal Course. Several sample agendas - each with a student and instructor version - have been provided on the Instructor CD. Instructors continue to have limited discretion to adjust time frames on the agenda for the lecture, breaks, lunches, and tests as these are Instructor decisions based on the number of students, classroom logistics, weather conditions, learning/reading/physical disabilities (refer to “Reasonable Accommodations” in the Instructor Guide), etc. However: o During the lecture/presentation, Instructors should cover everything in the lesson plan, but not add to the content unless necessary for further explanation. Remember that this is NOT an update/refresher class. o Barring the need for providing reasonable accommodations for learning/reading disabilities (refer to “Reasonable Accommodations” in the Instructor Guide), the time limit for the written test is 2 hours. • Lead Instructors are welcome to adjust the sample agendas to fit their needs within these constraints. June 2008 CPS Renewal Course Instructor CD Contents Page 4 of 4 Sample Letters and Class Info • Sample_RenewalCourse_ConfirmationLetter_R0608.doc - Provides a sample letter that can be used by Certification Renewal Course instructors or administrators that confirms a student’s registration in a course (in addition to the email confirmation generated by the Safe Kids CPS Certification online registration system) and provides important details about the course. • Sample_RenewalCourse_InformationSheet_R0608.doc - Provides a sample flyer that can be used to advertise and provide details about an upcoming Certification Renewal Course. 6. PowerPoint Slides - PowerPoint slides have been furnished as presentation aides for the June 2008 edition of the National Child Passenger Safety Certification Renewal Course. • Instructors must study and present the information found in the Lecture/Presentation section of the Certification Renewal Course Instructor Manual in order to provide the students with the information they need to receive through this course. • Teaching only from the slides, rather than from the instructor notes as well as the slides, will not provide the students with the information intended to be delivered through this course and will put an instructor at risk of certification sanctions. • There are two PowerPoint presentations provided for this course: o CertificationRenewal_R0608_Dark.ppt - contains presentations with the slides formatted with a dark background and light text o CertificationRenewal_R0608_Light.ppt - contains presentations with the slides formatted with a light background and dark text. • The two background formats, light and dark, are provided since one version may work better than the other due to lighting conditions in the classroom being used. It is advisable to have both versions available for any given class so you can see which version shows up better in the classroom. • There are no videos associated with the Certification Renewal Course slides.
