Please respond to the following prompts:

1. Summarize the key points you learned from this Professional Development experience.
In this CPR training, I learned how to do CPR on older children and adults. I also learned
First Aid tips for emergencies.
2. Discuss how these key points connect to your content area.
I think that it is important for all teachers to know CPR and first aid. First aid is extremely
important in a science classroom. So many more accidents can happen in a scientific classroom
compared to other classrooms and because of this, science teachers should be educated in first
aid as well as CPR.
3. Share how you might use this new information in your future classroom
I would use this if I had an emergency happen in my classroom. This information would
be helpful to me if a student choked on something, or if a lab emergency occurred and a student
needed first aid help.
