NUR648 Nursing Education Seminar

Week 3 Assignment  

Nurse Educator Lesson Plan

As you explored in Topic 2, there are many factors that drive the course design process. Course design outlines help instructors develop lesson plans that meet objectives outlined in the course design process. Effective lesson plans include opportunities for student engagement and should be learner centered. The purpose of this assignment is to create an effective lesson plan for the health care practice you selected in Topic 2 in a setting of your choice. You will develop course outcomes and learning objectives, select appropriate instructional strategies, determine how to assess the students, and align the lesson plan to professional standards and nurse educator competencies.

Create a lesson plan that follows the example lesson plan in Chapter 10 in the Teaching in Nursing: A Guide for Faculty textbook. Your lesson plan should include all components from the sample lesson plan. For the evaluation strategies section, choose two assessment types. One of your assessment types must be an exam that you will develop in a later topic. In addition to the components on the sample lesson plan in Chapter 10, add another section to your lesson plan that explains the alignment of course outcomes to professional standards and nurse educator competencies.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

Nurse Educator Lesson Plan

Introduction

This is a sample lesson plan for the Nurse Educator (NE) program. After completing this plan, you will have the tools to create your own lesson plans and evaluate them at the end of each semester.

Lesson Plan Title

The title of your lesson plan should be short and descriptive. It should also be unique, meaning that it shouldn’t sound like something anyone else could write. A good title is one that reflects what you’ll cover in the lesson and how you’ll teach it (e.g., “How to Teach Numerical Literacy”).

The title can help guide learners’ attention when they search for information about your course or post on social media sites such as YouTube or Facebook, so keep it simple!

Lesson Plan Type

There are three types of lesson plans that a nurse educator can use to teach students: instructor-led, student-centered, and learner-centered.

• Instructor Led: The instructor leads the class through an activity or lecture. Students are expected to follow along with notes provided by the teacher and participate in group discussions at times throughout the course.

• Student Centered: This type of lesson plan focuses on learning from peers rather than from an instructor’s lectures or activities. In most cases this type of teaching involves multiple groups working together toward a common goal while still keeping all students involved in their own learning process at all times (i.e., no one gets left behind). A good example would be when you’re learning about blood pressure readings; instead of sitting there listening only to what your professor has said so far during class time—you can get up out loud ask questions! Or if someone else has something interesting going on outside where everyone else couldn’t hear them talking quietly enough… well then maybe YOU should start doing some talking too!

Classroom Materials and Equipment List

Classroom Materials and Equipment List

• Paper.

• Pens, pencils and other writing utensils.

• Glue sticks (scissors work too.)

Optional items: A variety of colored pencils or markers to use as your students’ preferred color of choice for reproducing the worksheets in this lesson. If you’re using colored pencils instead of markers, consider getting some other supplies like a sharpener and refillable erasers that can be used again and again without wearing out the tip or losing its effectiveness over time. A pair of scissors will also come in handy when cutting up pieces of paper so they fit together nicely on your classroom walls later on!

Context for the Lesson

Context for the Lesson

• Context is what you need to know before you begin a lesson. It affects how your students learn, and it can be important in choosing a topic or question to teach. The following are some examples of context:

• What is the purpose of this lesson? Why is it being taught?

• What do my students already know about this subject matter (or their own experience with it)?

• Who else has been involved in creating resources that I want them to use during this lesson (for example, books or websites)?

Assignment Instructions and Rationale for the Assignment

The assignment instructions and rationale for this lesson plan can be found below.

• Assignment Instructions:

• To successfully complete this assignment, you must first read the materials provided in your course textbook (or other relevant source). You are then required to answer all questions related to each section of the text. Your answers must be written on an individual worksheet that has been provided with your textbook. After completing each question, you will be asked to fill out a separate worksheet for each section of text you have read and answer it using the same format as your answers for those sections (i.e., single-spaced). Please note that there is no need for any outside resources or materials in order for students who wish to complete this assignment; however, if additional assistance is needed during their work please feel free contact me at [email protected] If I do not hear back from you within three days after sending out my email message requesting feedback regarding one way or another how successful they were able with following instructions/rationale then I may consider changing course requirements at any point until further notice!

Assignment Instructions for the Evaluation Tool (Rubric) to be Used to Grade the Assignment (if applicable)

In order to grade your nurse educator lesson plan, you will be asked to complete an evaluation tool (rubric). The rubric should guide your evaluation of the assignment and help you provide feedback. It should be clear, easy to understand, integral with the assignment and consistent with it.

You will have three categories for evaluating each portion of your Nurse Educator Lesson Plan: Assessment/Measures

Content

Design/Presentation

You may also choose not include any assessment in this section if it is not relevant or helpful in determining content mastery or design/presentation deficiencies. For example: If you are using a pop-up box as part of a computer simulation exercise, then this would not count toward any category except Design/Presentation because pop-ups are considered more design elements than assessments by definition (they cannot serve as measurements).

Takeaway:

The lesson is intended to be a learning experience for students, who will be able to:

• identify the purpose of Nurse Educator certification

• understand the steps required to become certified as a nurse educator.

Conclusion

We hope that this lesson plan has helped you better understand nurse educator positions and the opportunities they offer. As always, we want to hear from you! Please leave comments below or contact us if you have any questions about our content.
