The StarGuard Instructor/Facilitator Guide provides organized instructional guidance on how to conduct a StarGuard training class. It is integrated with the student textbook.
Information regarding effective instruction and facilitation techniques, along with details of the training program and how to prepare for class are provided in the front of the guide. The remainder of the guide provides a framework for training that includes experiential activities, sample key teaching points, and identified practice sessions. Instructions on completing the required class administration are also included.
The guide is designed to be a resource, much like a cookbook. When trying a recipe for the first time, a chef will follow the instructions step-by-step. As experience increases, he will rely less on the cookbook for guidance. As confidence increases, he may bring his own style and modification to the recipe to enhance the experience.
