Benchmark Community Teaching Plan And Teaching Work ✓ Solved

Benchmark Community Teaching Plan Community Teaching Work Plan Prop

Develop an educational series proposal for your community using one of the following four topics: 1) Bioterrorism/Disaster 2) Environmental Issues 3) Primary Prevention/Health Promotion 4) Secondary Prevention/Screenings for a Vulnerable Population.

Plan before teaching:

  • Name and Credentials of Teacher
  • Estimated Time Teaching Will Last
  • Location of Teaching
  • Supplies, Material, Equipment Needed
  • Estimated Cost
  • Community and Target Aggregate
  • Topic
  • Rationale for Topic (statistics related to topic)
  • Nursing Diagnosis
  • Readiness for Learning (emotional and experiential readiness factors)

Learning Theory to Be Utilized: Explain how the theory will be applied.

Goal: Identify a Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) objective(s) as the goal for the teaching, including the objective number and rationale for selection, referencing at least one focus area. If no HP2020 objective applies, explain how your teaching relates to the overarching HP2020 goals. Discuss how this objective relates to Alma Ata’s Health for All global initiatives.

Develop behavioral objectives (including domains), content, and strategies/methods:

  • Example of a behavioral objective: "Third-grade students will name one healthy food choice in each of the five food groups by the end of the presentation." (Cognitive Domain)
  • Content should be specific, e.g., describing the Food Pyramid, healthy foods, unhealthy foods, etc.
  • Strategies/Methods should be described, e.g., interactive posters, group discussions, practical activities.

Creativity: Describe how creativity was integrated into teaching methods/strategies.

Planned Evaluation of Objectives (Outcome Evaluation):

  • Describe metrics for measuring each objective and methods of assessment.

Planned Evaluation of Goal: Explain how and when the overall effectiveness of the teaching plan will be evaluated.

Planned Evaluation of Lesson and Teacher (Process Evaluation):

  • Barriers: Identify potential barriers and strategies for handling them.
  • Communication: Describe how you will engage your audience at the beginning (hook) and at the conclusion (impact). Mention nonverbal communication techniques you will use.

Sample Paper For Above instruction

Developing an effective community teaching plan requires thoughtful planning, clear objectives, and engaging strategies tailored to the target population's needs. For illustrative purposes, this sample will focus on a community health promotion initiative targeting environmental health, emphasizing primary prevention strategies to reduce exposure to environmental hazards among vulnerable populations.

Community Teaching Series Proposal

Teacher Information

John Doe, RN, Certified Community Health Nurse

Estimated Time and Location

Duration: 2 hours; Location: Community Center Auditorium

Necessary Supplies and Materials

  • Presentation slides and projector
  • Educational pamphlets
  • Interactive poster boards
  • Sample products and hazard identification kits

Estimated Cost

Approximately $200 for materials and supplies

Community Target and Topic

Target Population: Residents of low-income neighborhoods near industrial areas; Topic: Environmental Issues — Reducing Exposure to Industrial Pollutants

Rationale for Topic

Air and water pollution adversely affect vulnerable communities, leading to increased respiratory and other health problems. According to EPA statistics, low-income areas often face higher pollutant exposures, necessitating community education on preventive measures.

Nursing Diagnosis and Readiness

Nursing Diagnosis: Risk for environmentally related health issues among vulnerable populations, related to exposure to pollutants.

Readiness for Learning: Community members demonstrate interest in local environmental health issues, time availability during community events, and willingness to engage in preventive behaviors.

Learning Theory Application

Social Cognitive Theory will guide the teaching, emphasizing observational learning and self-efficacy. Using modeling and interactive activities will empower community members to adopt safer practices.

Goals and Objectives

Goal: Reduce residents' exposure to environmental pollutants by 20% within six months, aligned with Healthy People 2020 Objective HDS-02: Reduce indoor and outdoor environmental exposures.

Behavioral Objectives:

  • Residents will identify common environmental hazards in their homes and community within one week of the presentation. (Cognitive Domain)
  • Participants will demonstrate proper handling and disposal of hazardous household materials during simulated activities. (Psychomotor Domain)

Content and Strategies

  • Content:
  • Sources of industrial pollutants and health effects
  • Practical steps to reduce exposure, such as indoor air quality improvements
  • Safe disposal of hazardous waste
  • Strategies/Methods:
  • Interactive presentations with visual aids and demos
  • Group discussions on local environmental concerns
  • Distribution of educational pamphlets and checklists

Creativity in Teaching

The incorporation of hands-on activities, such as hazard identification kits, and community mapping exercises foster an engaging learning environment that encourages active participation and enhances retention.

Evaluation Plan

Outcome Evaluation

Assess participants' hazard recognition skills post-lesson via quizzes; track behavioral changes through follow-up surveys at three and six months.

Goal Evaluation

Evaluate reduction in community environmental hazards by analyzing local health data and pollutant measurements over six months.

Process Evaluation and Barriers
  • Barriers: Limited transportation access; overcome by choosing accessible locations and providing transportation vouchers.
  • Communication: Begin with a compelling story of a community affected by pollution, ending with a call to action. Employ positive nonverbal cues, such as eye contact and open posture, throughout the presentation.
