This guide is one in a series published by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group on wildfire prevention. It addresses methods and ideas on how to enhance the delivery of wildland fire prevention and safety messages. It is a good supplement to this guide's section on developing and implementing your program. The first half of the booklet offers tips to the communicator entering the school setting. Subject headings in this section include: Understanding the Educational Setting, The Teacher's Input, Knowing Your Target Audience, Handling Problem Students, Presentation Skills, Audiovisual Aids, and Handling Unsolicited/Unplanned Requests. The tips for success provided in this section are organized pragmatically. Specifically looking at programming for audiences at the preschool level through the sixth grade, it also introduces strategies for junior and senior high school audiences. It offers valuable information on the behavioral development and learning capabilities of young audiences. Part 2 of this booklet offers just five activities for the preschool/elementary audiences; however, it is followed by a sample evaluation form for distribution to your audience (the teacher).
