Suggestions for use:
- Part 1 -- Overview. You will need approximately
20-to-30 minutes to present Part 1 - Overview. Allow time
for questions and answers, and for all members of the audience
to complete and return the presentation feedback form. Part
1 may be presented to parents/guardians, community groups,
school staff, as well as healthcare professionals. It is
suitable for the general public.
- Part 2 -- Goals. Allow at least 30 minutes
for this presentation to audiences composed of school nurses,
school staff, and healthcare professionals. More time may
be needed to present Part 2 to other groups, such as school
boards, and school district-level staff who may find this
information helpful in preparing guidance for schools on
asthma. It is recommended that Part 2 NOT be shown to audiences
that have not seen Part 1 or do not have experience with
asthma management for school-age youth.
- Parts 1 & 2. If you present Parts 1 and
2 together, provide time for questions and answers, as well
as sharing resources and references with the audience. Be
sure to ask the audience to complete and return the Feedback
Form. If combining the presentations, you will
need to allow approximately 1 hour, plus time for questions
and answers.
