In-Service Sourcebooks & Workbooks

What is an In-Service Sourcebook?

In-Service Sourcebooks contain everything needed to teach an in-service course on a particular topic. They help staff developers plan better programs in less time. Organized around a choice of learning objectives, each SourceBook includes:

  • Lesson plans
  • A choice of teaching methods
  • “Copy-ready” handouts and transparency masters
  • Pre- and post-tests with answer keys
  • Record keeping forms and certificates of completion

In-Service Sourcebooks include a site license to photocopy included handouts, assessments, and certificates.

What is an In-Service Workbook?

Our In-Service Workbooks are self-study guides that include readings and quizzes on multiple topics related to CNA and HHA job skills. The pages are perforated so that the exams can be turned into the instructor for in-service education credit. All of our In-Service titles are listed below.
