Help me give my students the tools to save lives through AED/CPR and First Aid training. This instructor kit includes training supplies that will allow my students to practice life-saving skills.
Our classroom motto is "Stay Curious". Our biology classroom can constantly be found abuzz with questions and discussions, "Why" and "How" are used in all aspects of inquiry and encouraged beyond the science department.
Our school community fosters this curiosity within each of our students, placing a strong emphasis in the arts and sciences, which creates an incredibly unique student body.
Any and all students are able to attend our school, which is application-based but lottery-drawn. Due to this application process, our students are from all districts and demographics within the area. This diversity allows for classroom dynamics that encourage peer-learning, skill-building, reflection upon personal ideas and experiences, as well as facilitating an appreciation of differences and commonalities.
In our biology classroom, students may be using a microscope for the first time or finely developing their electrophoresis skills. We approach the living world through many facets which emphasize relating previous experiences toward a greater depth of knowledge. By encouraging my students to develop their own understanding of their cellular, genetic and ecological processes, they are able to make informed decisions that affect our local and global community.
My Project
At the end of our Biology course, students receive hands-only chest compression instruction as required for high school graduation. I have had students who have expressed interest in earning an American Red Cross certificate that they could use as a resume builder for job applications. This past summer I attended Instructor Training at American Red Cross in order to have the ability to provide training to our students and staff, therefore giving them the opportunity to obtain an American Red Cross certificate in their training of choice.
I want to empower my students with life-saving skills.
If my students can develop the knowledge an ability to safely handle an emergency, they have the potential to save lives and demonstrate a positive role in their community. In order to provide proper training, our classroom needs manikins to practice airway opening procedures and chest compressions. In addition, the instructor kit includes AED trainers so students can practice operating an AED.
More than half of students from low‑income households
