TIE-Prestention

[David Polley]

I have my TIE exams and presentation on sunday. The lecture subject i have been given is "rescue priorities".

Does any one have any advise on struturing a lecture on the subject?

We did nt do this at the IFC and its not in any of the notes from the course.

Any help would be appeciated,

Look at Sports Diver Lecture 2 - its all covered in there.

Borrow an Instructor manual and make sure you know it all.

There are three main questions your examiners will be asking themselves during your "classroom lesson" (not lecture!):
1) Is the content factually correct and relevant to the topic title?
2) Was it taught in a logical, progressive manner?
3) Was it supported by relevant teaching aids (visual aids, handouts, etc.)

All other criteria are 'could haves' and 'nice to haves' rather than 'must haves'. You only have ten minutes for a TIE presentation so you must be very selective about your choice of material from within the subject given - you do not have time for a definitive lecture on all aspects of 'rescue priorities'. The intention is to examine your ability to plan, prepare and present a theory lesson, rather than your in-depth knowledge of the subject.

By the time you take out 1 minute (10%) for the introduction and 1 minute (10%) for the recap/summary, you have a maximum of 8 mins of presentation time. Allow a couple of minutes per item you want to cover and you have four things to talk about.

On the IFC you will have covered the what, when, where, who and why of planning a lesson. If you pitch your presentation at:

Ocean Diver - emphasis is on personal rescue skills (Danger, Responses, Airways, Breathing, Circulation)

Dive Leader - emphasis is on rescue management (Stop, Assess, Plan, Act)

Advanced Diver - emphasis is on rescue planning (How would I contact help, effect an evacuation, etc. from a remote location?)

There is no 'correct' scenario so choose your level and state this in the introduction (set the scene). Try not to get sucked into a conventional overhead projector and talk presentation - try different media such as posters, magnetic boards. For this one you could even act out DR.ABC with the group.

If at all possible practice your presentation with members of your branch, and preferably an experienced instructor who will give you positive feedback and help.

Finally, good luck for Sunday!

got my tie on satturday on the same subject

i am going to give a sceanaro (DL) and then formulate a rescue plan using poster stickers, hopefully leading questions from the class, only real concern (apart from fluffing it) is that its harder to controle time when you are so interactive with your class

Hello Dave,

Firstly, good luck with your exam.
Have a look here for some general advice from Instructors:
It's still talking about the Club Instructor Exam, (I know, it needs updating!) but it is still valid today.
There are also links at the bottom of that page for Pool, Lecture, and Theory sections.

Hello Dave

You will be examined on FOUR essential criteria

1. Was the information accurate and up to date?
2. Did the lesson contain all the 'must know' information?
3. Was it taught in a logical, progressive manner?
4. Was the lesson supported by appropriate visual aids?

If you can demonstrate ALL of these essential criteria you will pass.

Get most of the non-essential criteria and you'll get a merit.

Use the lesson planning skills taught on your IFC to develop your structure.

Don't attempt to squeeze a lesson from the DTP into 10 minutes.

Use whatever presentation method you are comfortable with but be aware of key criteria 4 and be wary of too much audience input, it eats up time.

There are NO extra marks for using unusual delivery methods, just be comfortable with whichever you choose and cover the key criteria.

Rehearse, Rehearse and Rehearse, preferably in front of an NQI for constructive feedback.

Good Luck
