INSTRUCTOR SKILLS WEEKENDS SHARPEN TEACHING TECHNIQUES

More than 50 students participated in MFRI’s spring Instructor Skills Weekends in April. Focusing on fire, EMS rescue, and hazardous materials, the biannual enhancement weekends were led by 11 veteran instructors from across the state.

This process is designed to overview all skills necessary to teach within each respective emergency discipline. If students are successful, they begin their practice teaching and then are granted the ability to instruct for their sponsoring agency. Many thanks go out to the following team players for making this event a success: Tim Delehanty, MFRI Logistical Services; MFRI skills instructors; and MFRI leadership.

The 2023 Fall Skills Enhancement will be held on September 9th and 10th and Skills Weekend will run September 23rd and 24th at MFRI headquarters.

If you are a sponsoring agency and have candidates to submit, please look for an informational email soon or contact Todd Dyche: tdyche@mfri.org or by phone: at 301-729-0431.
