Utilizing the Quick CASP Assessment Tool |
2.00 |
CalSAC partnered with the Summer Matters campaign to create our Quality Summer Program training series. Summer months bring unique opportunities for learning outside the traditional school year and walls. High quality summer learning programs change students’ lives for the better with an opportunity to improve their academic achievement and readiness to learn. Developing quality programs requires intentional, ongoing development. Engage in activities that will help identify and strengthen the quality of your summer learning program.
Utilizing the Quick CASP Assessment Tool is the second module in the Quality Summer Programming Training series. Creating a high quality summer learning program first starts with assessing the program at every level from the planning stages to the implementation of the program. In this module, participants will understand the language used in the Quick CASP Assessment Tool to describe quality summer programming and learn about the Quick CASP Assessment Tool to guide program quality improvement. |

VAD Educational Updates for the Prehospital Care Provider |
1.00 |
Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are not new devices. In fact, the first successful use of such a device was described in 1966. Since then, and particularly in the past few years, VAD design and safety has improved significantly and are now commonly implanted devices.
This course strives to bring prehospital providers current with the most commonly implanted devices at the time - this course will not cover every device that a prehospital provider may encounter.
Following successful completion of the material, the provider should feel comfortable recognizing the VAD patient when encountered in the community, have an understanding of the basic VAD components, be able to assess the VAD patient's hemodynamic status, and be able to deliver care in the prehospital setting. |

The video-data for your inquiry project has been collected, now what? Testing your hypothesis is usually a dance, back and forth between the "ideal" and "reality-check". Listen to a research team decide how they will analyze video-data to extract just the information needed to focus on the inquiry questions. The first step is to sort video clips by activity categories, then score each clip using a recording protocol defined in terms of counting behavioral events and/or time sampling of activity states. |
