...Leadership as Educators Violet Meadows COM/705 November 26, 2011 Dr. Teresa North How Information Literacy Influences Scholarship, Practice, and Leadership as Educators? There are many ways to define information literacy. Information literacy affects some facets of scholarship practice, and leadership. “Information literacy has the ability to identify what information needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the source for information needed, located those sources, evaluate them critically, and share the information” (Turusheva, 2009, p. 126). At the University of Maryland there are Library-led Faculty Workshops that teach educators how to meet information literacy goals in their classroom (Miller, et al.). According to the article educators participation in the hands- on activities and discussions among their colleague, information about the university, information literacy standard, library resources and services, free Web tools, and the best way to implement how to design class assignments involving library research (Miller, et al.). To meet literacy goals for students, educators, and Librans collaboration is essential. The Association for College and Research Libraries (n. d.) emphasizes for the collaboration to be successful, there needs to be a partnership between the Liberians and the educators. To successful...

...Nursing Educators, Nursing Informatics, and Nurse Administrators should be classified as an advanced practice nurse. The consensus states that many nurses with advanced graduate nursing preparation practice in roles and specialties that are essential to advance the health of the public but do not focus on direct care to individual (APRN Consensus Work Group & the National Council of State Boards of Nursing APRN Advisory Committee, 2008). If the consensus recognizes that nurses in these roles as essential to advance the health of individuals how can they not be qualified to practice as an advanced practice nurse? In today’s ever changing healthcare we need all roles that practice at a Master’s or Doctorate’s level to be considered an advanced practice nurse. Every role has a unique part in helping to advance nursing and healthcare in general. Our nursing educators are the ones that help educate other nurses to fulfill the four roles, CNP, CNS, CNM, and CRNA, which are classified by the consensus as an advanced practice nurse. They have the knowledge base to instruct other nurses on the evolving material that makes healthcare so unique. Without our educators none of the other nurse would even be able to practice as an advanced practice nurse. Our nursing informatics are the ones that help to put together the programs we use as nurses and as an advanced practice nurse to record patient data. We wouldn’t even be able to chart without their help. Every day new programs are created...

...Thankfully, upon graduation in 2010 from Robert Morris University I was able to quickly find a job that would lead me to wanting to advance my career further and get my masters degree in nursing. Without the many programs made available because of willing nurses to become educators, a lot of us would not be where we are today, myself included. Many people think about the nursing shortage when it comes to bedside nursing and nurses in hospitals. Few rarely think that in order for a person to become a nurse they actually need other nurses that are willing to teach them. As the baby boomer generation gets older, we have to keep in mind that this is also a lot of our nurses in the field right now. According to the Administration on Aging by 2030 there will be 72.1 million people in the United States age 65 and older, which will be about 19% of the population. This number is compared to just 12.4% of the population in the year 2000. Again, not only do these numbers show the advancing age of our population, it shows that a lot of the nurses that we have in the work force right now are going to be retiring within the next 10-15 years. According to the National League for Nursing, in 2007, one out of five nurse educators planned to retire within 3 to 5 years. Unfortunately, projected retirements are expected to far exceed new faculty replacements. Furthermore, if hospitals continue seeking nurses with Bachelor of Science degrees (BSN) for advanced practice, demand for faculty may increase...

...Mid-Main Friends of Bangladesh – Bangladesh Health Project Annual Report June 30, 20121 1. Program development a. Students. This has been another active year but we have had on-going problems with Bangladesh Nursing Council, which refuses to register our graduates. As a result, enrolment has dwindled, so that total enrolment across the four years of the program is about forty students. This is a significant concern, discussed further below. b. Graduates This was a very important year for the College of Nursing, because the first graduates were officially recognized during the third Convocation for the University. In late December, twenty-two BSN graduates had their Certificates of Graduation confirmed by the Government of Bangladesh. In the picture below, some are shown with Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mahmuda Khanum and Chair, Health Sciences, Dr. Karen Lund. In all about thirty students have graduated. To the best of our knowledge all those who want to be working have found good jobs. Some are working at private hospitals in Bangladesh as ward staff or senior nurses. Others are junior faculty at private nursing colleges in Nepal. A few have emigrated to USA or UK. One graduate successfully applied to a USA accrediting agency for recognition of her BSN credentials in order to apply for graduate school. and there are now about 70 students enrolled in the IUBAT College of Nursing. A few foreign students continue to enrol, but we are mostly seeing enrolment of...

...of clinical sites are just a few concerns of nursing programs. Nurse educators seek teaching strategies that promote students that are highly skilled practitioners. Students must learn how to transfer their knowledge and learned skills into their clinical practice. It is the nurse educator’s goal to “produce safe and competent registered nurse” (Reid Searl, Eaton, Vieth, & Happell, 2011, p. 2758). Sufficient clinical experience is challenged as there is an increased demand for nursing schools to produce nurses that are competent, with the increasingly “ill population, coupled with the shortage of faculty” (Sportsman et al., 2009, p. 67). High Fidelity Simulation (HFS) is a method of providing students with clinical experience that is essential in developing the skills and knowledge. Many nursing programs are now using HFS in their curriculum. These simulators “allow students to experience high-risk, low volume patient problems in a realistic setting” (Tuoriniemi & Schott Baer, 2008, p. 105). The HFS are full size mannequins that can respond verbally and physiologically to the students interventions as well as omissions of care (Leigh & Hurst, 2008). The HFS offers students many advantages. This method of clinical training allows students to experience real life like patient encounters that they may not have the opportunity to experience during their clinical training. Nurse educators can correlate HFS with the current topics. Often, there are limited...

...Letter to an Educator Dear Colonel Fields, The past four years of my life have been spent at this school and you’ve been a big part of it. The majority of my time devoted to this school has been JROTC, especially rifle team. I just wanted to write this to you to let you know what an influence you’ve made and the JROTC program has made on my life. I think that out of all the students in the program over the years that we were closest. Everything I know and excel in, I learned from you. You taught me how to shoot on the rifle team, which resulted in 1st place in the county last year. You demonstrated leadership and lead by example in order to make me a better leader, which resulted in becoming rifle team commander as well as Battalion Commander. Due to everything you ever taught me, I received the Army ROTC scholarship. This scholarship is going to change my life and make me a much greater success I think. You made it possible for me to make a career out of the military and go to college for Army ROTC with all the lessons you taught me and everything you ever did for me. You made me a better person and I thank you for everything. You are the reason I decided to go into Aviation, so that I could make a promising career in what I love and become at least half the man that you are today. Thank you for everything. Sincerely, Dylan...

...Being an educator there are many strategies and theories that we use to cultivate for our success. There are many strategies used to build social and personal dimensions in our classrooms. Social dimensions in are classroom are fostered by developing class norms and building relationships, which is basically making your classroom a safe haven for your students to express themselves. Developing class norms are not something that should just be used in the first weeks of class, but carried out throughout the year. To implement these into yur classtroom you have to create that atmosphere and that would first start by making sure that all of your students are comfortable with each other. This will be created by your students sharing there interest with one another. In Schoenbach, Greenleaf & Murphy (2012) it says, “ taking a few minutes for students to share information sets the tone that in this class we expect to get to know each other and work together” (59). Another great way to creat social dimension is by letting students share their opinions on what they think the class norms/rules should be. I feel that this would be very crucial to your classroom because they would be more willing to follow the rules. While trying to create that social dimension in the classroom, you also have to help the students create a personal dimension. Creating a personal dimension is like given one’s self power. Schoenbach, Greenleaf & Murphy (2012) speak on it when they say, “ The power...

...After reading different learning theories, it is evident that these theories offer guidance into the different aspects of development, conduct, and personality of the human being. This chapter is the one that I liked the most because as mother I learned a lot about the way my children behave and react to different situations. Now I understand better why they do things that in some cases surprise me. I admire all these theorists such as Piaget, Bruner, Freud, Erikson, and Montessori and so on, because thanks to their investigations in their corresponding fields, they have discovered theories that until now are very useful to understand some aspects that play an important role in human life. These psychologists have studied during decades how people change over time and the developmental stages across the human lifespan (i.e., birth to death). Because of their researches we can now apply certain theories related to development, emotional, social, and cognitive- intellectual acquisition and aspects. Some theorists help parents and teachers how to understand and be supportive in the child’s growth and development, and what better way to do so then by having the knowledge surrounding their child’s behavior from birth to adolescences. For example, when I read Montessori, I loved a quote that says "Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed." It is always a goal of Montessori education in the classrooms to make the child independent and be able to do things...

...Introduction Education in the Philippines is managed and regulated by the Department of Education, commonly referred to as the DepEd in the country. The Department of Education controls the Philippine education system, including the curriculum used in schools and the allocation of funds. It also regulates the construction of schools and other educational facilities and the recruitment of teachers and staff. Educators As Guardians Of Standards Senator Mar Roxas I am very keen to be with you this morning as education has always been of outmost importance among my advocacies. In fact, what kept me and inspired me to continue being in public service was the passage into law of a bill I filed when I was a freshman congressman. Wala akong kaalam-alam sa pulitika. Kapapasok ko pa lang sa Kongreso bilang kinatawan ng Capiz. Napuna ko na ang mga kongresista ay pumipila doon sa DepEd para humingi ng classrooms para sa kanilang mga lalawigan. Tinatanong ko ang mga nakakatanda sa akin doon sa kongreso, “Bakit tayo pumipila?Bakit hindi ba pinamimigay lang iyan, edukasyon namn iyan?Bakit kailangan na magsipsip pa doon sa kinauukulang ahensya?” Ang sagot sa akin, “Bata ka pa Mar, hindi mo pa alam ito, idealist ka pero kailangan talaga dahil itong mga classrooms na ito pinamimigay ito batay sa pulitika, kung close ka, kaalyado ka, o karelihiyon ka ng mga nakaupo sa DepEd. “ Nagkamot ako ng ulo sabi ko, “ May lugar naman para sa pulitika.
