...Teaching Experience Brigette Davila Grand Canyon University: NRS-427V March 22, 2015 Teaching Experience Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn, these are the words of Benjamin Franklin. Teaching a young adult church group of African-American young ladies ages 18-25 about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be challenging yet, if learning was a success in only one person, then teaching was achieved. In the next few paragraphs the teacher will summarize a teaching plan, evaluate the teaching experience, provide the community response to the teaching, and identify the areas of strengths and areas of improvement from the teaching. The Teaching Plan As part of the teaching plan the teacher needs to research and be knowledgeable about the subject which in this case is STDs. After being knowledgeable about the subject at hand the teaching is more applicable to those who will listen. The teacher will discuss with the students briefly what the lesson will be about and will benchmark the students' level of knowledge on the subject. Then will expose the students to the lesson's objectives (Lewis, 2015). It is also important to identify the type of learners that will adapt to the lesson. To understand adult learners it was imperative to understand the different learning domains and styles and understand how and why adults learn. The domains of learning can be categorized as cognitive domain (knowledge), psychomotor domain (skills) and affective...

Description of parent response to teaching. c. Assessment of parent understanding. d. Your impressions of the experience; what went well, what can be improved. Education is one of the many roles a nurse is responsible for. There are many steps a nurse must take before beginning an education session with an individual and I always try to consider these steps before I perform any education. After assessing the readiness to learn, educational level, and learning type of the individuals I intended to share my pamphlet with, in order to modify my teaching techniques if needed, I was able to educate them with a very positive result. I chose to share my pamphlet with a mother and father of a 3 ½ year-old girl and a 16 month-old boy. The mother was 28 year-old and was Caucasian and the father was a 43 year -old man of Hispanic and Filipino decent. The mother had father had been married...

...COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Tien Nguyen Grand Canyon University Concepts in Community and Public Health NRS-427V Judith Crook January 22, 2015 COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Introduction: In Seal Beach health and rehabilitation center, most of patients are in the 50s and the majority have problems with controlling the blood pressure. Even though there are medical interventions such as antihypertensive medications, most of patients have not understood the important of other restrictions and activities or many other interventions to control the blood pressure. Therefore, the proposed teaching plan provides patients the essential knowledge of how to control hypertension and additional interventions after discharge including a healthy diet and a active lifestyle. However, there are some barriers during introducing the teaching plan to the community or encouraging patients to make lifestyle changes. This paper describes the experience after the hypertension teaching session, the audience’s response, and better approach which can be done to improve the audiences’ health. Epidemiological Rationale for the Topic: According to data from the CDC, more than 67 million (1 in every 3) adults in the U.S. have lived with high blood pressure problems; 53% of those have been controlled by hypertensive medical advice. In California, an estimated of 27% adults have hypertensive problem in 2009 ("CDC," 2014). In 2010, hypertension are one of the most popular health problem in many communities...

...Community Teaching Experience I chose to do my teaching project at a community festival, Edgewater Founders Day 2015, honoring their founding. I was fortunate enough to have made friends with a couple of individuals that were of indescribable assistance. First was the group that allowed me to present my platform at their booth during the founder’s day celebration,The Golden Girls for Glory (Faith Based Social Club). A group of ladies that, by virtue of age, are considered older adults. They belong to varying church congregations of various faiths but come together regularly for community based activities and sponsor many events. Secondly, one of the Golden Girl’s husbands runs a printing shop and donated his time and much of the printed material, not the least of which were the banners for the canopy on the booth at the venue for the festival. The organizers of the event provided the tote bags, canopy and chairs. A local restaurant supplier married to another Golden Girl donated disposable shot glasses upon which stickers were applied. The Golden Girls Event Coordinator is the best friend of my roommate and was struggling to find a theme for their booth this year, and I just happened to be present during her conversation about her dilemma. When I asked if she would consider allowing me to do my presentation as their theme we were all ecstatic. My chosen topic was entitled “HAVE A SHOT>>>ITS GOOD FOR WHAT AILS YOU” An educational presentation for the promotion of health...

...Community Teaching Plan: Teaching Experience Summary of Teaching Plan The idea of teaching a community about possible attacks on our country was one thought, but actually giving them the knowledge of what the various ways to, ultimately, defend themselves was a much greater cause. The possibilities that we may face a biological terrorist attack is quite real. We have seen the horrors of 9-11, we are aware of the wars and hatred; which gives us as human beings all the more reason to learn about these tactics. This presentation was probably the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do. Public speaking isn’t my strongest trait; however, I believed this was my nursing duties to give complete strangers the knowledge that might save their lives one day. Power point presentations are always a helpful tool when explaining a subject that those may not know, they seemed to be much more intuitive and very interested during the whole time the presentation took place (Nursing Planet, 2013). Well, in my opinion, when any one is explaining the probability and various ways that I may need this knowledge to someday defend and save not only my own life but also the people around me I would be pretty interested myself. The total time to present and explain and discuss the presentation was just over twenty minutes. When we finished, the time laps felt much quicker. Perhaps because this was also an interesting topic for myself. All in all, I felt very confident my ability to teach and give specific...

...The learning, teaching and assessment experience This assignment is a written account of a learning, teaching and assessment experience within a clinical setting. It considers how the mentorship of a student can be influenced by the learning experience. It also discusses the learning, teaching and mentorship theories and considers the principles of an assessment. It will look at the reliability, validity and different factors that may influence the learner’s needs. It will reflect on the responsibilities and boundaries of the mentor and discuss the legal, ethical and professional accountability. The clinical setting as a learning environment will be analysed and the effectiveness of the roles and responsibilities of a mentor will be discussed. Finally, the importance of effective teamwork within a clinical setting environment will be examined. To comply with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC 2008) all confidential information will be withheld and names changed. According to the NMC (2006) students on an NMC approved pre-registration nursing course must be supported and assessed by a mentor. The mentor must be registered on a local register and must demonstrate their knowledge, skills and competences on an ongoing basis. As a qualified nurse the NMC (2008) also states “you must facilitate students and others to develop their competences”. Student nurses in their final year of study are allocated placements within the community setting every six months. Most students...

...Teaching Experience Paper Module 5 Assignment Chantarakhan Patnakha Neal Grand Canyon University: NRS-427V | Concepts in Community and Public Health February 23, 2014 Summary of Teaching Plan The primary prevention and health promotion for cardiovascular disease or heart disease are necessary for the Isabella County, Michigan because of the high rate of this disease. Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart, and the blood vessels including arteries, capillaries, and veins. Cardiovascular disease refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system, principally cardiac disease, vascular diseases of the brain and kidney, and peripheral arterial disease. The two most common causes of cardiovascular disease are atherosclerosis and hypertension. Physiological and morphological changes with aging alter cardiovascular function and lead to an increased risk of this disease for healthy individuals with asymptomatic problems (Wikipedia, 2014). In teaching summary, it is necessary for the Isabella County to be informed of the high rate of cardiovascular disease for adults age 65 and older. The presentation was held at the community center of Mt. Pleasant, Isabella County during the annual “Together We Can”. It was surprising that the audience participation was 100 percent. Most of them paid attention to the Okinawa big poster, which highlighted how to reach the age of 100 and older without cardiovascular disease. Between...

...weaknesses. Learners who know what their strengths are and which areas they need to improve are more likely be motivated and “know what is expected of them” (Gravells, 2012, p.50) to progress and meet the requirements of a course or programme. In order to determine “the level and which specific aspects learners need to improve on” (Gravells, 2012, p.50), teachers should administer initial and diagnostic assessments to them before or at the start of a course or programme. The results of initial and diagnostic assessments can be used to help learners agree on Individual Learning Plans specifically designed to meet their learning needs. Some learners might have expectations of making rapid progress within a course or programme but unexpectedly experience difficulties due to a lack of personal or functional skills. Initial and diagnostic assessments should help teachers identify problems early relating to their learners’ personal skills. In certain circumstances, results from initial and diagnostic assessment might indicate that some learners do not have the requisite skills to have any realistic chance of progressing within a course or programme and they should be referred to a course or programme which more specifically meets their learning needs. On the other hand, some learners might have very advanced personal skills or abilities in relation to the minimum core and teachers should be able to ascertain which of their learners would need to feel more challenged during the programme and...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study A teaching method may be described as the standard procedure in the presentation of instructional materials and the content of activities. It is the way and manner in which the teacher presents his/her lesson to enable his/her students acquire knowledge in the subject under consideration. Any teaching method a teacher uses has advantages, disadvantages, and requires some preliminary preparation. Often times, a particular teaching method will naturally flow into another, all within the same lesson, and the excellent teacher can develop the skills to make the process faultless to their students. The classification of a teaching method as being right for a particular lesson depends on many factors such as, the age and developmental level of the students, their experiences, interests and goals, what they already know, and what they need to know to succeed with the lesson, the subject-matter content, the objective of the lesson, the available number of students, time, space and material resources, and the physical setting. However, another, more difficult problem is to select an instructional method that best fits one's particular teaching style and the lesson-situation. There is no one right method for teaching a particular lesson, but there are some criteria that pertain to each lesson that can help a teacher make the best decision possible. Individuals learn in different ways. According to Dale (1996) from the www...

Dayto ------------------------------------------------- Observation Questions: 1. What are the objectives of the lesson? I have observed many subjects. And I think the objective in every different subject is; to make students learn but his objective is not OBE or outcomes based. And the reason is the teacher is not making any lesson plan. 2. What learning activities were introduced? I think it is about sharing his experience to his students makes a good learning activity. With the help of sharing your students will be active and it is a good strategy to take away any drowsiness in the classroom. 3. How do the learners participate in these activities? By listening and doing what the teacher will tell. Like in their class in P.E. they participate by playing the volleyball in correct manner. 4. What instructional materials were employed? Discuss whether such materials were computer generated or not. How did she prepare these materials? There are no instructional materials if the teacher teaches his students. But there are some if there is a reporter. They’re not computer generated. Their materials are more on Manila paper. 5. How did the teacher assess the...

...not about adjusting your teaching to meet the needs of children receiving special education. It’s about meeting the needs of everyone in your class- regardless of their individual situation.” i. This idea was also seen in the UDL video. The idea is to adapt the curriculum instruction to the needs of the class, rather than the other way around. This allows every student to access information, become engaged, and be challenged appropriately. It is important to push those who are talented or gifted, or continue to push those who understand certain topics already, as well as be nurturing to those who are struggling or have specific disabilities. In order to have a classroom that meets this standard, I will be sure to learn as much as I can about the students (from the students themselves) in the beginning of the school year. • “Differentiated instruction is about giving students multiple options for taking in information and making sense of ideas.” i. All students learn differently. Even those who seem to pick up information quickly, or paced with the curriculum, obtain information in different ways from each other. In order to nurture these different ways of obtaining skills and information, we need to give students different ways to explore what we are teaching. In my classroom, I would give the instruction of the ideas, but then allow practice of skills, or exploration of information through written, verbal, visual, and hands-on experiences. • “Classroom management...

...My current teaching philosophy incorporates motivation, commonality, other’s characteristics, making a difference, and relevance, as well as, values, the learning environment, and student/teacher relationship. First, I think the subject that is being taught should motivate the instructor. Knowing what one’s motivation is will enable a continuous cycle of success in student/teacher interaction. A motivated instructor learns as much as possible about the subject and passes it on to the student. In turn, the student is motivated to apply what is learned. A motivated instructor motivates the student. Ultimately, this will be a common occurrence. Teaching should maneuver the learning system in ways that cause students to accept a profound learning approach in an effort to achieve the course's requirements, allowing the desired course learning results (Myers & Nulty, 2008). Additionally, teaching should be designed by collecting information and formulating various decisions about how the course will be taught (Fink, 2003). The characteristics of others tend to spill over into one’s own teaching methods. Various characteristics of instructors from past experience are of significant worth. The traits of simplicity, clarity, supportiveness, and provision help create an environment conducive to effective learning. For instance the use of simple and clear instructions aides the student in efficiently completing assignments. The support and provision of the instructor shows...
