Your TEACHING PLAN ASSIGNMENT is the following:

Write a paper using the guidelines below.

Select a topic you would have the opportunity to teach.  The potential learners may be other 
nurse colleagues, clients or subordinates.  Try to choose a topic that you will teach so 
that this assignment is a meaningful activity for you.  The following components of the 
teaching plan must be included:

• Program Description:  Indicate how your teaching plan fits into a larger program 
  of learning.  The teaching plan you choose should be part of a larger learning program. 
  (For example, the larger learning program may be "Safety and the Elderly" or 
  "Weight Loss in Adolescents").  If the program of learning is "Safety and the Elderly," 
  your teaching plan may be "Prevention of Falls."  Also indicate the setting your
  teaching will be done. 
  

• Rationale for the Program:  Why is the program needed?  Has the institution seen 
  an increase in medication errors?  Or has the ER found that children in accidents are 
  not being buckled up?
  

• Resources Needed:  What resources are needed to put on the program in terms 
  of time, space, money, and personnel?  Does the program need audiovisual resources 
  such as videos, pamphlets?
  

• Entry  Requirements:  What the requirements to take part in the program?  Are the participants diagnosed with a certain illness or condition?  Are the participants required 
  to be in a certain age range?
  

• Learning Environment:  Is the environment in a community setting or institutional 
  setting?  Does it take into consideration the participant’s ability to get to the setting?  
  Is this “required” education or are participants taking part freely?  Why are they 
  motivated to take part?
  

• Program Goal(s):  This is the general goal for the program of learning (see under 
  “Program Description” above).  For example,  “The participant will be able to 
  understand infant and toddler development.” OR “The participant will have completed 
  the cardiac rehabilitation program established by the institution.”  For help in writing 
  goals, See LEARNING.
  

• Learning Objectives:  Learning objectives are specific statements with intended 
  behaviors that are measurable and/or observable.  They include the conditions of 
  evaluation and the standards of performance.  For help in writing learning objectives, 
  See LEARNING.
  

• Learning Objective Domain and Level:  What are the domain and level of the 
  learning objectives?  You should include all domains and you should use lower levels 
  for beginning learners.
  

• Content Outline:  Be brief--remember, the instructor should be familiar with detailed 
  content and will use the content outline as a general outline to stay on track. 
  

• Teaching Strategies:  Describe the teaching methods here--will it be lecture, 
  discussion, demonstration, practice, etc.?  Will there be printed or audiovisual materials 
  to assist in the instruction?  Specific teaching materials (such as brochures, other 
  handouts) need to be referenced.
  

• Evaluation:  How would you evaluate your learners so that you can validate that they 
  learned the material?  Look at your learning objectives to determine how you will do 
  evaluation.  Will you ask questions, refer to a diagram and ask questions, have them 
  give you a return demonstration, give a pre and post test?
  

• Reference List:  This list should include those materials you used to develop the 
  teaching plan.  It could include textbooks or journal articles, pamphlets, web page 
  sites, etc.
