Instructional Exemplars

We welcome additions to this site. Please use the template to summarize your teaching activity. Please include a narrative that provides sufficient detail so that faculty who might be unfamiliar with geriatric nursing could easily adapt it for use in their courses.

For more information or to submit your exemplar, please contact Penny Roberts.


Instructional Exemplars have been developed by NW Coalition gerontological nursing faculty. They are for use in courses that are relevant for care of older adults, including family nursing, med/surg, assessment, mental health, community nursing.

Background

• 2003-2004: Education committee members mapped gerontological content in their curricula using the Hartford-NYU Geriatric Nursing Competencies
• 2004-2006: Education committee members developed exemplar instructional materials based on their own successes.
• 2006: OHSU received a grant from the Health Resources & Services Administration, Geriatric Nursing Education Curriculum (G-NEC) to:
o Conduct on-site faculty development workshops at NW Coalition schools that offer instructional resources and guidance for integrating content into their courses
o Conduct faculty residency programs in long-term where faculty learn how to use long-term care clinical sites effectively
o Faculty mentoring on integrating geriatric content
o Provide resources and instruction on geriatric nursing to community college faculty and hospital staff development educators
• 2006: The NW Coalition sponsored a faculty development workshop at Pacific Lutheran University
• 2007: The Northwest Coalition is partnering with the American Academy of the College of Nursing (AACN) to provide faculty development to faculty teaching senior level nursing courses. The first of four regional meetings will be held in Portland, Oregon, in June 2007.
