The topics are 1. eating disorders and 2. grief.
Part One: submit your outline for a lesson. Compose a 2 pg paper that lists/explains the following (provide headings to delineate the topics):
The objectives and standards of the lesson (include QSEN). This lesson should be aligned to a nursing theory or nonclinical topic or setting.
The length of your lesson: approximately 40 minutes;
The student audience and learning level: What are the demographics of the students and what, if any, interventions may be needed to account for varied learning styles?
A road map for presenting the concepts/content: How will you present the information to the student, what visuals will you source, and how will you relay the content clearly and concisely?
Preliminary ideas for assessing students, both informally during the lesson and a summative component that can be administered upon completion of the lesson or unit
A list of materials that you will reference or hand out during your lesson.
Part Two: (see attached template)
a completed lesson plan for your first teaching experience. You will have the opportunity to rework your lesson plan in the next two weeks if needed.
Lesson Plan Requirements:
You may use any lesson planning template that is readily available or one you have used throughout your studies. There is a sample lesson planning template linked here . You must include the following detailed sections in your plan (use headings to delineate sections):
Level of subject/concept, audience, and class size
What domain your lesson is aligned to (cognitive, affective, or psychomotor)?
Your students prior knowledge and scaffolding strategies for building on prior knowledge; list any new vocabulary terms the students will need to know for the lesson.
Potential challenges and intervention strategies if needed. Address any potential safety concerns if there is hands-on application during the lesson.
Brief overview of the concept, content, lesson, and it’s purpose in the curriculum.
Standards and learning objectives (include matching QSEN objectives). Learning objectives written using Bloom’s taxonomy.
Presentation of content: How will you open the lesson to get the student’s attention? What visuals will you use to present the content?
Lesson pacing and structure: List each step you will follow to complete the lesson. Include estimated time to complete each step, material references, handout names, quiz/test names, activity names, skill sheets, group activities, etc.
Student activities: What will the students be doing during the lesson that shows active learning and engagement (individual, small groups, collaboration)? Provide a rationale for why the activity is appropriate.
Assessment of learning objectives and/or evidence of student’s acquisition of the content during your lesson (informal assessment) and a plan for a formal summative assessment that you can administer later. List and describe any homework the students will be expected to complete.
Closure: Describe how you will end the lesson, for example, reviewing the lesson learning objectives; “cliff hanger” question for the next class date; an encouraging anecdotal story; comments of reinforcement and encouragement; etc.
Extra notes or areas that need further clarification.
Resources and materials needed for lesson.
The lesson plan should be detailed enough so that another nurse educator could teach from the plan.
