Not Your Average In-Service Day Topics

Published

UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Need some in-service day topics that aren't the basics (seizure, EpiPen, DM, CPR, first aid, etc.) I go over these topics at the beginning of the school year and have another in-service day I have to speak at. For context, I am in a high school. What are some attention grabber topics I can yap about for 10-15 minutes?

Hmm just throwing out ideas (don't know how feasible it is) but it seems like you got the individual care covered, so maybe some more public health topics?

- When a student should be screened for vision or hearing and why?

- Mitigating an outbreak (so when students and staff should stay home, privacy, when to send to the nurse).

- Emergency response if there was a fire or natural disaster. Like what can you do.  Sometimes this is more in the wheelhouse of a different department though.

- Depending on weather you can talk about heat exhaustion vs heat stroke and heat index and heat islands, and what to monitor. If it's at the start of the year maybe cold weather?

- If your counselors and social workers don't already, inservice ways to find access. Especially healthcare, so dental clinics, vision resources, vaccination fairs, etc. 

- Could do nutrition but this may be too long for 15 minutes. 

Just some ideas!
