TEACHING METHOD - MENTOR BASED LEARNING

A mentor's role is to guide students toward independent learning in a joint effort to help students reach their personal goals. The mentors in the project Stayin' Alive - First Aid for Everyone are going to lead students through the protocols of the first aid, provide students with orientation materials, establish guidelines for working, and assess students work. Mentors in this project are:

Carmen María Suárez Algar, CIPFP Ciudad del Aprendiz, Spain - I work as a VET health teacher. I train students in health matters to carry out urgent health interventions. In addition to being a professor of the modules of health emergencies, I am a nurse and I have worked in health emergencies.

Josipa Bajan, School of Midwifery, Croatia - I work as health teacher. Before my school engagement I was a nurse in a hospital. In our school I am teaching students gynecological care, general care and first aid. I am looking forward at this project because all topics are conected with the curriculuim topics I am teaching this year.

TEACHING METHOD - MENTOR BASED LEARNING

María Mercedes Martínez Garriga, CIPFP Ciudad del Aprendiz, Spain - I teach the module of Formation and Orientation, in Emergency Health. I am very interested in taking part in this project for the following reasons: First aid is included in the contents of my module and these procedures can save lives in any situation, for instance: at the workplace, on the road, etc. This Project allows students to develop social values such as solidarity, the importance of health, the relationships in the teamwork, etc In addition to this, our students can improve their technical English skills.

Saša Lautenbach, School of Midwifery, Croatia - By my vocation I am a graduate political scientist. I work at a school board for a midwifery school as a tutor. In addition to the compulsory program, I've been running an extracurricular activity for eight years - first aid. We are very excited about the cooperation, exchange of experiences and knowledge among our students.

It is my second eTwinning project and the first one won five prizes included the National and European Quality label in association with your School of Midwifery, Croatia. My role in this project will be to coordinate the Spanish team and mentoring my two workmates.

In this school, I have been leading projects for 4 years and for each of those projects our school won the National and European Quality label.
