Professional Development I: Teaching and Learning

Catalog description

Professional Development I is the first in a three-course series designed to encourage professional development in one of three areas: research, teaching and learning, and practice management. The overarching goal of the Professional Development Series is to provide students with an understanding of the skills, activities, and ethics related to research, teaching, and learning or practice management, an opportunity to explore continued professional development, and the tools necessary for lifelong learning. The course begins with an introduction to each topic area: research, teaching and learning and practice management. Students then work with a faculty advisor to further develop their skills in the area of Teaching and Learning. Throughout the course series, students develop an educational module for either clinical, didactic or community education. The project includes a review of the literature on teaching and learning, designing and creating educational content, and creating an assessment plan.
