Creating and implementing lesson plans

Posted on | by

 

Special educators have the important task of creating and implementing lesson plans that effectively differentiate instruction, meet student needs, and are aligned to appropriate state standards. Planning effective language arts lessons includes accommodating all students, incorporating interesting materials, and meeting standards and student IEP objectives. It is essential to model pre-reading, during reading, and after reading metacognitive strategies and to incorporate cross-curricular content areas in reading and language arts lessons.
Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” create a cross-curricular lesson plan that incorporates a picture walk and is specific to the needs of students in the “Class Profile.” Select a K-3 grade level and align your lesson to the Arizona or other state academic content standards. Using an appropriate non-fiction picture book, incorporate the following into your lesson plan:
• Pre-reading strategies and activities
• During reading strategies and activities
• Vocabulary development
• Interactive differentiation activities
• After reading activities and strategies
• Written language and oral language activities

Defining a Gap in Practice: Executive Summary

Posted on | by

 

 

Develop a PICOT question that defines a gap in practice and write a 2-3 page executive summary presenting the key elements that decision makers will need to make decisions.

Introduction

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

It is important to define your ideas clearly and precisely to help develop and sustain stakeholder buy-in with any project being created to improve outcomes. Using a PICOT gives the reader a clear idea of your improvement project in one succinct sentence. Another important communication tool is written for the administrative stakeholders in the form of an executive summary. The executive summary provides a brief and precise narrative of what you want to expedite for your improvement project. Executive summaries are commonly associated with business plans, marketing plans, evaluation studies, and other materials that are created to guide decision making and action. As an actionable document, the executive summary is meant to set out the key elements that a decision maker will need in order to make decisions and, as important, to justify those decisions to those to whom the decision maker is responsible.

Preparation

Read the following:

· American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing. (2016). Scope and standards of practice for registered nurses in care coordination and transition management .

. Standard 1: Assessment.

. Standard 2: Nursing Diagnoses.

. Standard 3: Outcomes Identification.

. Standard 4: Planning.

. Standard 5a: Coordination of Care.

. Standard 5b: Health Teaching and Health Promotion.

Assessment Summary

Develop a PICOT question that defines a gap in practice related to a specific population at the organizational, regional, or national level for care coordination. Write a 2–3 page executive summary (not including the title and reference pages). Include 4–6 scholarly sources on the reference page. You may use the Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences: PICOT Question Process library guide to help direct your research.

You are encouraged to formulate a PICOT question based on a clinical question from your field of expertise or reflective of a specialization or strong area of career interest.

Grading Criteria

The numbered instructions outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the Defining a Gap in Practice: Executive Summary Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point. You may also want to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

1. Analyze clinical priorities for a specific population to effectively influence health outcomes with a care coordination process.

2. Apply a PICOT question to a gap in practice at the organizational, regional, or national level for care coordination.

. What is the PICOT question?

. Provide and explanation of the selected gap.

· Evaluate the potential services and resources for care coordination that are currently available for use with the selected population.

Mr. J, age 42, is a construction worker in Las Vegas who lives with his daughter and grandson, Sammy. He recently noticed that a mole on his face seemed to be getting larger and darker. At first, he did not worry because he was in the sun a lot and assumed the change may have been caused by sunburn. After a month, not only was the mole larger and darker, but it appeared to be “bumpy.” His doctor diagnosed a malignant melanoma skin cancer following biopsy of the nevus. Mr. J reports pain in his right shin that does not go away when he puts his feet up or sleeps.
Discussion Questions
1. Relate Mr. J’s skin changes to the warning signs for malignant melanoma.
2. Discuss the normal progression of this malignancy. What is the significance of the bone pain that Mr. J is experiencing?
3. Discuss the treatment available for this patient and the prognosis for recovery.
Discussion Questions
Mr. J is babysitting his grandson Sammy, age 3 years, who ate his dinner and then said his tummy hurt. Mr. J suggested he lie down in the adjacent room while his parents finished dinner. A few minutes later, Mr. J heard Sammy vomiting. He rushed in to lift Sammy up. When vomiting ceased, he noticed Sammy continued to cough and seemed to be choking. He was struggling to breathe, and a wheezing sound was obvious. It appeared that he had aspirated some vomitus. Mr. J drove him to a nearby hospital for examination.
1. Discuss the specific effects of aspirating vomitus on Sammy, including the probable effects on his bronchi and lungs. Why might one lung be affected more than the other?
2. Discuss the pathophysiologic changes causing the signs and symptoms and any tests required to clarify the effects on Sammy.
3. Suggest some reasons for Sammy’s difficulty breathing and wheezing.
4. Discuss the potential complications of aspiration of vomitus.
