"Recording lecture reinforces weakness."

Hi,

I am a nursing student who also taught Pre-K through Adults for 10 years as certified teacher prior to entering nursing school. The above quote was said by my peds clinical instructor. She's been a nurse for many years and done lecture/clinical for many years at different schools (Diploma and ADN), she is new to my school and only doing clinical though she is looking for a job and I'm concerned that my ADN program will hire her.

As someone who spent much time learning about and integrating into my lessons, the basic learning styles of visual, auditory and tactile, it concerns me that she clearly doesn't understand the concept of learning styles or how to support the proven strategies to assist students.

What I am asking of all of you:

-How do I share my concerns with my department head and higher?

-How do I express my concerns to the instructor after the semester is over?

In both instances, I would use current evidence-based supporting documents.

Thank you in advance!!

If she cannot explain to you and your college counselor what exactly she means then I would completely dismiss her. I know someone has said that she has more credibility but nursing schools are highly competitive these days and a student who recognizes incompetency or bullying has the higher ground.
