Homework: Collaborate With Preceptor/Mentor
Collaboration is a tool that improves thinking processes and the end work product.

The homework due week 10 focuses on collaboration. The instructions are as follows with my comments in red:
The effective nurse educator collaborates with partners and the community during the curriculum design process. The purpose of this homework is to collaborate with your preceptor to refine and enhance your lesson plan.
You may have already delivered your lesson. If so, think back about the process you went through to develop it. Talk further with your preceptor to discuss the plan!
Meet with your preceptor to review your lesson plan. Discuss your lesson plan and possible barriers to successful implementation. Using the comments for refinement from your preceptor, reflect on your collaboration. In 200 to 350 words, provide a short answer to address the following.
A. A description of identified areas of reinforcement. Reinforcement: the action or process of reinforcing or strengthening. What areas need to be reinforced? Any additional information you would include? Any strategies that could be improved? Look to the evidence as you reflect!
B. A description of identified areas of refinement. Refinement: The improvement or clarification of something by the making of small changes. What would you focus on for your refinements? Look to the evidence as you reflect!
C. Explanation of changes made to the lesson plan with rationale. Describe the changes you will make. Be sure to support them with the evidence.
