Week 4 Assignment  

Preparing to Teach: Developing a Teaching Plan

PURPOSE

In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse educator in either an academic or a nursing professional development setting to determine a hypothetical target audience in order to develop an instructional lesson or teaching plan. The target audience will be learners within an academic setting or a healthcare setting (patients are not an appropriate target audience). The plan will include development of measurable learning outcomes/objectives for the target audience; a topical outline of the content to be presented; development of appropriate instructional methods, and development of evaluation methods appropriate for the topic.

COURSE OUTCOMES

Through this assignment, the student will address the following Course Outcomes:

CO 2: Explore instructional strategies reflective of educational theory and evidence-based practice to support person centered care. (PO 5)

CO 3: Examine unique learning styles and needs of culturally diverse learners to foster acquisition of knowledge and skill. (PO 1 and 3)

CO 4: Explore a variety of instructional strategies appropriate to content, setting, learners’ needs, and desired outcomes. (POs 3 and 4)

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW

Imagine that you are a nurse educator in either an academic or a nursing professional development context. Consider who your hypothetical target audience would include, the learning that would be necessary, and a hypothetical lesson that you would teach.

Once you determine this information, you will prepare for the development of an instructional lesson by considering the characteristics and unique needs of the target audience, as well as specific learning objectives, instructional methods, learning resources and methods for evaluation ofthe learning that has been accomplished.
