Discussion: NLN Nurse Teaching Plan

Discussion: NLN Nurse Teaching Plan

Question Description
Reflective Discussion
In NSG6003 (Teaching & Learning Strategies), you were provided a teaching plan template and introduced to the importance of a well-developed teaching plan. This same teaching template is the resource you will use for the teaching session you will conduct in this practicum. Develop a draft of your curriculum and teaching plan incorporating the QSEN and IOM recommendations for this assignment and review it with your preceptor.

Then, as your journal submission for the week, share your draft and discuss your experiences in developing the plan and consulting with your preceptor. Use this opportunity to seek constructive feedback from your classmates. Be you write this journal “off-line” and then copy/paste it to this discussion forum (do not upload as a Word document). You will want to look back at this as you progress forward in your upcoming role as a nurse educator. Please Note:

After you incorporate your peer’s feedback from this week into your Curriculum and Teaching Plan, you will submit the revised version of the plan to the Submissions Area. You need to understand that you may not proceed with teaching the proposed assignment until you have written approval from your instructor. Teaching in the practicum experience should not occur before Week 7 of this course. Click here to see the rubric that will be used to assess your curriculum and teaching plan.

XXXXX I have attached the template that she is talking about

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort, and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in, and make corrections as necessary. Often, having a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors is advantageous. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12-point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. Letting your essay run over the recommended number of pages is better than compressing it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted and double-spaced with a one-inch margin on each page’s top, bottom, and sides. When submitting a hard copy, use white paper and print it out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

• Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
• Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
• One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and off-topic responses will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
• I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

• Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ are graded separately and do not count toward participation.
• In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days for three replies.
• Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
• Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

• Please familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud, for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
• Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
• I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6^th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

• I discourage the overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly.
• As a
  

  Master’s level student, you must be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding or critical analysis of the content.

• It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

LopesWrite Policy

• For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
• Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
• Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper more of someone else’s thoughts than yours?
• Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud, for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

• The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
• Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
• If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
• I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
• Per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

• Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
  • Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
  • Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask questions or send messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
