Soooo excited to start CAP! I was a little nervouse afteri learned that i needed to get fingerprinted, but it wasn't as big of a deal as i thought!:) I was also surprised at the fact that only 4 other people went on the bus to get fingerprinted. I wonder how many students are actually involved in CAP?
The first training session was not what I expected at all. I thought we would learn how to make lesson plans, which was sortof overlooked at the alternative orientation, but unfortunately we were stuck on race relations, which i dont think is the most crucial aspect of working with children. Being from a diverse place, I don't se race as a problem, but I can see how some people might. I did like, however, learning the rain storm game to calm down a class. I wish we learned more though and were armed with more information about the program. It concerns me a little that both my partner and myself have never done CAP before and more information would have really helped. I was under the impression that we would be set up with another CAP member who has experience.
