Concussion Training
HEADS UP TRAINING
I took the Heads Up concussion training on-line this year to further educate myself about concussions including how to recognize them, assist students who have them, and understand what students are facing when they receive a concussion. A link to the concussion training website is provided in the picture above. Below, my training certificate is available for viewing.

CONCUSSION RATES
Concussions are more and more prevalent each year. The article provided in the chart above talks about the risks involved when participating in sports. The article relates concussions to other injuries and indicates the importance of rest time when recovering from a concussion. At the end of the article, Dawn Comstock encourages students to continue playing sports since “the positives of sports as a physical activity still far outweigh the negatives.” |
