Transforming Nursing Education Through Curriculum Innovation
Webinar Details & Objectives
This webinar will describe the faculty approach and process to curriculum transformation using the AACN Essentials as a framework at Indiana University School of Nursing. The first phase focuses on curriculum mapping for alignment of the new AACN Essential to courses, course competencies (i.e. objectives) and program outcomes. The next phase focuses on assessment strategies to evaluate student learning outcomes consistent with course competencies. Faculty are highly engaged through the faculty governance committees, embracing the opportunity as a pedagogical exercise to create a unified curriculum to support student success and teaching/learning excellence.
