Teaching Preparation
Teaching Tips
• Get the right people in the room – all maternity staff, security, and staff in charge
of the facility
• Pick a time that is convenient for them and tell them it will take about an hour
• Have everything prepared – set up the Solar Suitcase and appliances in advance
• Use the Solar Suitcase User Manual as a teaching tool when
teaching the healthcare workers
• Speak slowly and clearly
• All healthcare workers should know how to interact with the
Solar Suitcase and appliances. Don’t do it for them! Make sure
they get to practice using the Solar Suitcase and appliances.
• Repeat key messages
• Check healthcare workers understand by asking them to show
you or explain what you just taught before moving on to next
topic
• Reinforce reasons for training – proper usage will ensure
midwives have light when they most need it
