“I think, with everything that’s happening right now in terms of TV shows and movies, the students are really into sci-fi. Students and Marshall discussed safe words in the event that a student, while acting severely injured, felt anxious in the moment and needed to take a step back or remove themselves from the simulation altogether. We do this kind of practice in the real world all the time.” Once you add in the additional components - realistic injury makeup, all the equipment you would use in a, radio communications - all these complicating factors, you get to see where you excel and where we need to continue training. “It’s one of those things that, until you do it with your hands, it sounds good on paper. “This kind of hands-on training and showing them what they learned in the classroom and what that looks like in a controlled environment is important. There’s a lot of theory into learning these days, but application is one of the most important things that we practice,” Johnson said. “One of the most important things that we do with my class and anything in CTE is learning how it’s done in the real world. The three coordinated efforts to plan the zombie simulation as realistically as possible. Shearer said she pitched the idea to theater teacher Meghan Marshall and EMT teacher Eric Johnson. “It allowed our CTE EMT students to showcase their first responder skills, field triage and search and rescue as well as our CTE theater students being able to highlight their make up and costuming skills, in addition to using their acting skills in a nontraditional way, playing the role of victims.” “The prior events that I ran were a great collaboration between both CTE pathways and the local police and fire departments,” Shearer said in an email on Wednesday.
