Do you want to include a 10-minute interpretation exercise at the end of your training class?*
- Yes
- No
We need to know if Class Coordinators are interested in including this in their agendas to tell trainees ahead of time. This would allow them to bring an object or prepare for the interpretation exercise to keep those skills fresh.
Class Agenda! (Please attach a Word Document and not PDF)
We ask that the first two classes send their completed agendas by Orientation! Everyone else, it would be GREAT if you also included your agendas, but please send them by 12/15 at the latest before all the winter holidays begin.

Preparing Trainees for the Day
Lunch Set-up
Let trainees know if they should bring their lunch or if an option is available to purchase a lunch.
Outdoor Component Description*
Let trainees know how much time they will be spending outdoors and how to best prepare. Include potential recommendations such as sturdy shoes, long pants, long-sleeved shirt, warm clothing, sandals, bug repellent, a hat, a portable chair if there’s a lot of standing, whether they may want to bring a change of clothes or any other details that may be useful. Please check with the venue to determine what (if any) ADA accommodations can be made. For example, if there is a tour/hike, would it be possible to have a golf cart? This is NOT a deal breaker, but we want to be aware that each class will likely have 1-2 people who could have a problem.
