Co-Teacher Plan

My plan Module 4: Locating and Partnering with Co-Teachers Plan My plan is to co-teach a course looking at growth and development accross the lifespan with a teacher from the Pre-school at the University of Cincinnati. The students cut a wide swath across developmental, cultural and socioeconimic levels. They are healthy living in families ranging from those that are homeless to those that are wealthy. It is my hope that seeing how Ms. Papin, an educator with over 30 years of experience, creates activities and plans to meet student needs will assist the student in understanding how to plan nursing care that does the same. This will also expose students to relatively healthy, community dwelling (rather than hospitalized) children. Plan Elements: Name the professional educator you plan to partner with. Include the following information: Name: Dena Papin Position: Pre-School Teacher Contact information papinda@uc.edu 513-703-6893 Describe the plan you have made with this person. How will you bring what they have to offer to your students? Ms. Papin works at the Arlett Education Center at the University of Cincinnati What technologies will you use? (video/voice technologies, etc?) The purpose of this plan is to expose students to healthy pre-school students who may or may not have developmental issues and are living in the community (not in the hospital) and are not in crisis. Students will visit the center and learn the philosophy of this resource that caters across cultural and socioeconomic levels from Head Start students to professor's children. They will meet with Ms. Papin as a group via Skype in the classroom each week. They will be free to ask questions about their student via email and scheduled visit to the center. Ms. Papin will tweet about activities at the center and issues such as site visits by regulatory agencies and what they are looking for on these visits. As this is an educational center, parents have provided consent for their children to be involved in educational activities such as this and students have been educated in principles of confidentiality. What are the school disciplines and specific national, state, district or school standards that it will address? This plan will meet the requirements of the Ohio Board of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission that nursing programs provide as part of the curriculum activities that promote understanding of normal and abnormal growth and development, culture and socioeconomic diversity, as well as collaboration with clients and families. How will you assess what your students have learned? Students will create a plan of care for a student that they are assigned to for the duration of the course. This plan will focus on one health or developmental actual or potential deficit identified for that student. Students will right a weekly journal entry discussing what they learned during interactions with Ms. Papin and students from the center as well as how the educators use the center to identify and meet multiple student needs. The students will write a final paper elaborating on an area of concern/need for the student population at the center. This will run the gamut from not enough to eat/poor shelter to two busy working professional parents who do not always have the time to provide the attention the child/children may need. Ms. Pain will provide weekly discussion questions and Ms. Rohr and the nursing students will interact via discussion board as well as in seminar to answer the questions and comment on the thoughts of others in the course.
