9/5/2018 Healthy Homes Assessment for Community Health Workers **This slide is specific to HHACHW.*** Display this slide as students enter the class and throughout the introductions. Conduct Trainer Introductions Describe your background as it relates to the Healthy Homes Training Center, healthy homes, code inspection, training, the local community, etc. Describe Classroom Logistics Review the day’s agenda. Tell students how breaks, including lunch, will be handled. Make sure students know where the restrooms are located. Invite students to stretch in the back of the room as needed. Explain how questions will be handled. If using notecards, explain students can write questions and comments on the cards and put them on the trainer’s table during breaks or at end of the day. Confirm Prerequisites Have Been Met Remind students that the online Basic Principles of Healthy Homes course is a prerequisite for this course; it covers information that is essential to this course. If any students have not completed the online BPHH, ask them to see you during a break so you can make sure they have the link and are able to complete the course that evening. Conduct Student Introductions (as time allows) Option A: Paired Introduction Ask the students to form pairs, preferably with someone they do not know. Tell them that they will have five minutes to interview each other, then each student will have one minute to introduce his/her partner to the class. In addition to asking their partner’s name, students might ask: Where do you work? / What do you do? What do you consider your area of expertise? What brought you to this profession? What would be the 6-word title of your autobiography? (You can add this for fun, and to get a sense of the group.) Option B: Personal Introduction Using the same set of questions, have each student introduce him/herself. T1_HHACHW_INTRO_Mar2017

9/5/2018 Welcome EXPLAIN “We’re going to use the Jeopardy format to review some of the topics covered in the Basic Principles of Healthy Homes online course. PREPARE ACTIVITY Divide the class into three equal teams. Use your discretion in determining the best way to do this. E.g., you may or may not want students to team up with their co-workers. Have the teams sit together. Have each team identify a spokesperson. Give the spokesperson of each team a ”flag” to hold up when their team is ready to answer. (See list of required materials in HHACHW_TG1_[DATE]_INTRO, slide 4.) Use your discretion to determine which team goes first. E.g., you might find out which student most recently celebrated his/her birthday, and have that person’s team go first. DESCRIBE ACTIVITY The whole team can discuss the question, but only the spokesperson can raise the flag and respond. The first team to raise the flag gets to respond. The response MUST be in the form of a question, but the student’s response does not need to match the answer key exactly. You’re just trying to get a sense of if they know the information. If the response is correct, that team gets to choose the next category and point value. If the response is incorrect, the other teams may have a chance to answer. Again, the first team to “wave the flag,” tries first. Some categories are more challenging then others. The objective here is not to win big bucks (LOL!), but to review the information. Feel free to give hints and guide them in the right direction. ”Just the Facts” deals with some of the key concepts of healthy housing. “People Matter” deals with the role of the resident in the assessment process and why we start with people. “Can we Talk?” deals with communication strategies. “Keep It Healthy 1 and 2” primarily deal with assessing and ensuring the health of a home. If you want and you think of it ahead of time, you might bring some type of ”prize” for the winners, such as candy or branded pens. to Jeopardy! T1_HHACHW_INTRO_Mar2017

9/5/2018 Introduction Find the self-assessment form at the back of the Introduction section of your binder. List as many of the 8 principles as you can. List at least 5 home hazards and their related health impacts. INTRODUCE ACTIVITY Direct students to the self-assessment form at the back of Introduction section of their binders. Tell them they may want to pull it out and put it somewhere easy to access, such as at the front of the binder. Explain that at the beginning of each module, they’ll complete a couple of self-assessment questions. When this form is completed, they can use it as a quick summary of the entire class. Assure them that this is not a test, and it is for their own benefit only. Explain that for this introductory module, they’ll actually do the self-assessment component now. Tell them that, working alone, they should first try to list as many of the 8 Principals as they can. Next, they should try to identify as least five hazards commonly found in a home as well as the potential health problem related to each. REVIEW ANSWERS After the students have had time to complete the activity, review the answers together. First, see if anyone thinks they got all 8 Principals. Have students share their answers until you have a complete list of principals. Answer any questions that arise. T1_HHACHW_INTRO_Mar2017

Next, draw a line down the middle of a flip chart, and label one side HAZARDS and the other side HEALTH IMPACTS Call on students to share the hazards they identified as well as the associated health impact. Provide additional information as you see fit, and answer any questions that arise. Depending on the class size, you might want to go around in a circle, having students take turns. You are not looking for a complete list of all potential hazards. Rather, you are trying to make sure students have a grasp of these two concepts. T1_HHACHW_INTRO_Mar2017
