Caregiver Training Homework Requirements
At the time you register for a Caregiver Training you are issued: 1) a set of books, including the Quick Tips for Caregivers text book and workbook, 2) a Quick Tips for Caregivers Key Points and Definitions packet, and 3) a Quick Tips for Caregivers Workbook Answer Sheets packet. The set of books are on loan to you until you complete your homework. The Key Points and Definitions packet is yours to keep. The answer sheets packet contains your homework assignments.
Caregiver Training homework covers 13 subjects. Each subject has an introductory section that tells you what you need to read before doing the homework. Readings are from both the Quick Tips for Caregivers text book and the Quick Tips for Caregivers Key Points and Definitions packet. Each section of homework begins with an introduction that tells you the reading references and workbook pages for that section. The first three of the 13 homework sections are independent of the workbook. This means questions and answers are both found on the worksheets, so you do not refer to the workbook. You will need to refer to the workbook for the remainder of your homework, starting with the fourth section. Write all answers on the answer sheets, NOT in the workbook. Please return completed answer sheet packet to the training coordinator before or at the first training session. Return the loaner book set on the last session of the training, after the final evaluation. Caregiver Training homework subjects include:
