Seasoned nurse educators possess wisdom about teaching

Topic 1

Seasoned nurse educators possess wisdom about teaching (a kind of “with-it-ness”), which they have developed through practical experience over the years. As a person new to nursing education, you have a great deal to learn from a seasoned mentor. In order to gain access to that knowledge, you will conduct an interview with an experienced nurse educator either in a hospital or college setting. Your interview may be conducted face-to-face, online, or by telephone.

For this assignment, you are to:

• Generate a list of questions you will ask during the interview such as teaching strategies, theories, technology, and evaluation techniques.
• Conduct the interview.
• Your  discussion post should include:
  • The setting.
  • How the interview was conducted.
  • The questions asked and the responses given.
  • Anything else you think to be important.

Topic 2

Thinking back to Week 3 when you discussed a topic you would like to teach to a friend or family member, create a formative and summative assessment for that hypothetical educational encounter. The instructional methods can be traditional or nontraditional. Explain how you  can communicate the results of the evaluation to the learner.
