SDD20: Repurposing Kindness: Using Collaboration and Kindness as a Catalyst to Aid Success, Prepare for Practice
Hours: 1.5
This workshop uses a three pillared method to onboard, set classroom expectations, and model professional behaviors in entry level nursing students. By sharing information about resources, setting a classroom culture, and modeling expected behaviors, persistence is improved and ultimately success. Although utilized in the nursing program, this model could be amended for any program to increase student engagement and persistence.
A participant walks away with:
A methodology to improve student engagement and persistence.
An understanding of the importance of developing relationship with students to increase success.
