Teaching projects "help"

[Harley2008]

I have a teaching project for 2nd semester nursing school and our group has chosen to teach 5 & 6 yr olds to wash hands properly and we cannot come up with an age appropriate evalutaion form. Any ideas??? The children are mostly hearing and verbally handicapped.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

You might find some information at http://www.cdc.gov , the website for the Centers for Disease Control.

While in nursing school, when we did a clinical at a local elementary school for a weeklong comparison project of a normally developed child vs a physically/mentally challenged child, we used a standard nurse plan/evaluation form. This gave us all the tools we needed to include all the relevant criteria necessary for evaluation.

Also, I just entered into my search engine "Nurse plan and evaluation forms for evaluating handicapped school age children in handwashing." Alot of sites came up from various universities regarding the very subject; so you might try copying and pasting what I just typed in quotes, and you should be able to find some options. There were also links with videos listed which might help with instructions and demonstrations.

Good luck.

the evaluation form is for you to turn in, isn't it? the evaluation form is to "determine if you met the goals of your teaching plan. this can be done through a return demonstration, short post test, short question and return answer session with the client to verify they understand the information correctly or a task the participant needs to perform." you design the form to reflect that information. if you want your participants to give you feedback on what they learned make it age appropriate. use a pictorial and have them circle correct answer choices and then color them with crayons. nursery schools do this all the time. i'd have them do a return demo.

a written teaching plan (very similar to a care plan) goes something like this:

1. overview: a synopsis about what is going to be taught in the course
   
2. goal(s): the aim(s) or outcome(s) that you want your learner to achieve as a result of the lesson you plan
   
3. objectives: the more specific information that the learner will come away from the course knowing that will achieve the goal(s) you have determined.
   
4. content: a play-by-play of the specific content that is going to be taught and in the sequence it will happen. your content should address and cover all the objectives. this part of the written lesson plan is presented in an outline format.
   
5. procedures and materials: how all the above will be achieved, i.e. lecture, demonstration, discussion, etc. materials that can be used and resources that can be needed for the lesson to be successful and essential to teaching your lesson plan are listed and may include demonstrations, audio-visuals, handouts, experiments, stories, game playing and any number of other creative items.
   
6. evaluation: determining if you met the goals of the teaching plan. this can be done through a return demonstration, short post test, short question and return answer session with the client to verify they understand the information correctly or a task the participant needs to perform.

Thank You very much, Daytonite, that is very helpful.

I appreciate the feedback, and yes it is for me to have the children evaluate my presentation and how they learned.

Thank you for the added part of the written teaching plan also.
