21. Practical Skills Currently 132 skills
Most of these are now called applications
Based on the text book – testing each application
New curriculum will have 61 tested skills
Based on the NFPA standard
Many applications may make up a tested skill
Added two failure checkboxes
Critical skill failure
Safety stop failure

22. Skill Sheets Teach all applications/methods from textbook
Hose Rolls
Ladder carries
Forcible entry methods
Select the method or scenario to test
The skill sheet (most of them) doesn’t dictate which method to test
Entire class is tested on the same scenario/situation
Instructors need to teach the applications found in the textbook

28. Skills Sign-Off Sheet

29. Practical Skills – Roll, Carry, & Load Hose
CURRENTLY:
Roll: Straight roll, donut roll, double roll
Carry: Accordion
Load: Accordion load, minuteman load, triple layer load
NEW:
Clean, Inspect, Return Fire Hose to Service
Shows that we are not grading each application of a particular skill. The instructor will have to get a little creative to grade the skill. The good instructors will appreciate the latitude, the lazy instructors will complain that we are not telling them exactly what to do.
Explain correlation sheet
Fire Suppression Skills

30. Practical Skills – Knots
CURRENTLY:
NEW:
Old example requires the student stating the purpose of the knot. That is not included on the new skill – just performing the skill. The requisite knowledge of uses of the knots can be found on the written exam.

31. Skill Sheets Failing students
Two attempts
First attempt - review score sheet with student (students are allowed to know what they missed, but not how to correct it)
Failure of second attempt- student receives no credit for course
Be as detailed as possible
Critical failure
Sum of missed steps
Student quit
Safety failure
Paint a solid picture of the circumstances surrounding the failure
This will be your justification if testing is called into question
This needs to be stressed. There have been a lot of situations where instructors are not properly filling these out with any type of information other than a few check marks. The more detail on the skills sheet, the better the delivery agency has to justify the failure.

32. PPE Requirements When testing skills:
Must be in the level of PPE as if it were a true emergency
When practicing skills (examples):
Ex. 1
First time through the entanglement box; work uniform, bunker gear
Second time; SCBA, not breathing air
Third time; equivalent for testing
Ex. 2
First time ventilation; bunker gear
Second time; bunker gear, SCBA not breathing air
Designed to get the point across that when they are testing they need to be at a certain level of PPE for the practical skill. Being graded on doing forcible entry wearing just bunker gear is not acceptable. Practicing at various levels of PPE working towards full PPE is ok.

33. Policy & Procedures
