The Train-the-Trainer will be delivered over 3 days. Day 1 will focus
on the PSS Training Process (paperwork, requirements, etc.) during the
morning and will introduce modules 7-15 during the afternoon (to
accommodate CNA Instructors). Day 2 will introduce participants to
Principles of Adult Learning and the PSS curriculum content of modules
1-6. Day 3 will focus on Curriculum delivery.
SPECIAL NOTES:
The PSS curriculum is currently being revised by the Department. The
curriculum that will be taught during this training will be the current
curriculum as written in 2003. When the Department has completed the
revisions, you will be required to attend a curriculum update session.
The companion manual for this curriculum as it stands is no longer in
print. You, as a trainer or agency, would be required to get permissions
for reprints directly from the publisher. Instructions on how to do that
will be provided at the training.
BHSI must have 10 persons registered to run this course (applications
completed, submitted & approved).
