Dangerous Decibels Educator Training Workshop
February 28, 2010 - March 1, 2010
Rosen Plaza Hotel, Orlando, FL
*Immediately following the NHCA Conference

Come to Orlando to learn a fun, interactive way to teach noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus prevention.

Join us in Orlando for the Dangerous Decibels Educator Training Workshop.  We will prepare and equip you to present a K-12 classroom program that is effective at changing knowledge, attitudes, and intended behaviors in students regarding their hearing health.

This two-day workshop (16 hours) is lead by Oregon Health & Science University, Portland State University, and University of Northern Colorado hearing conservation, health communication, educational outreach experts. Participants will receive an educator kit with graphics, simulations, supplies, a script and a sound level meter needed to present the classroom program.

The workshop will include background information on hearing, anatomy, physics of sound, children and noise, etc. Instruction includes classroom management, hands-on activities, and an opportunity to deliver the program to instructors for critique and feedback.  Workshop instructors are available after the workshop for continued support and as a resource through email or phone.  We look forward to your participation!
