Theresa Puckett – Critical Skills for the Nurse Educator
Description:
Maximize your use of available technology
Develop challenging scenarios to facilitate learning
Succeed with the resistant/disruptive learner
New strategies to evaluate competencies in practice
Cost-effective teaching tools
BONUS: Checklists for lecture and lab/ clinical
When I first started teaching, I spent hours preparing an activity for the classroom only to have the learners blow through it in 10 minutes. As educators, I think that we all want to implement active teaching strategies but feel like we don’t have the time to execute these visions. Throughout this packed day of learning, I will be sharing with you my White Water Rafting Analogy to guide you as you design teaching strategies in the future. This analogy will revolutionize the way you think about teaching.
We will spend our day together discussing and experiencing active teaching strategies. Imagine walking away with over 100 new ideas that you can use the next day, as needed. These ideas do not require a lot of prep time or money…yet can have a huge impact on learning outcomes. Whether you work in an academic or a clinical setting, this seminar will allow you to become more proficient, successful and engaged. I hope that you’ll join me for this career-changing seminar!
