0 <br />Hazmat First Responder Awareness <br />Welcome & Course Overview <br />Goals Make a goal sheet. Why did you register for this program? <br />What do you expect to gain? Take a moment to think about <br />your goals. Clarify them by writing them down on the inside <br />cover of your notebook. Look over your goal page throughout <br />the course, it will help you keep your goals focused. <br />Meet Others Meet other people. This is an excellent opportunity to expand <br />your network of contacts. Sit next to someone you don't know, <br />even if you've come with a group. Mingle during the breaks. <br />Exchange business cards. Every participant has a specific area <br />of expertise, find out what it is instead of chatting about the <br />weather. Remember the goal sheet. Why not let one of your <br />goals be to meet at least one person you intend to see again on <br />a business or social basis. <br />Participate Ask questions, make contributions and actively participate in <br />exercises. Consider the meeting room to be a "mental <br />gymnasium" where it's okay to run, fall and get up again. <br />You'll benefit much more by participating in the game than <br />sitting on the sidelines. <br />Take Notes Why let even one good idea get away? Taking notes will help <br />concentrate and organize your thoughts. Also, they'll allow you <br />to take a "refresher" any time in the future. <br />Relate Learning Relate what you learn to yourself. Don't settle for abstract <br />knowledge. Have your current problems, conflicts and interests <br />foremost in your mind. As you learn new approaches and <br />techniques, relate them to your own situation. <br />Main Idea Find the "Big Idea". Try to identify at least one main idea that <br />alone will make this course worthwhile. The idea will be there, <br />it's up to you to find it. <br />0 State of California — (OES/CSTI) 1999 Page A-7 Revised: August 8, 2012 <br />
