Guidelines & Scoring Rubric

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to assist students in developing an intervention and evaluation plan for their Education Practicum Project. Both intervention and evaluation are integrated in this paper to help students appreciate the importance of tying them together.

Due Date: Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 4

Total Points Possible: 150

Requirements:

This plan follows a logical trajectory, starting with objectives. Use a separate paragraph or two for each of the following sections.

1. Start with a short introduction to the paper.

2. State your long-term goal. This goal should be an objective that you have for the practicum site and mentor. When you leave your practicum, what should they be measuring or how should they follow up? For example, if a school of nursing wants to improve NCLEX® pass rates, you are not likely to be able to achieve this in the short time you have in your practicum, but you expect that the faculty will be tracking those rates in the future. Or, a hospital may want to decrease infection rates but you may not be in your practicum long enough to achieve this goal; you will suggest the hospital staff track the rate after you leave.

3. State your short -term objective(s). These should be the same outcomes as in the PICOT question. Is your goal to improve unit scores on an exam or ATI scores in a certain clinical area? Help the hospital staff achieve an 80% score on a quiz related to infections? Be realistic. What do you think you can realistically accomplish? Consult your mentor on this!

4. Describe your practicum site and your stakeholders--those who will be affected by your intervention. Remind your reader what your educational problem or issue is and how your practicum site, administration, students, or staff are affected.

5. Select a change model to guide the implementation of your project. Describe how you will use that model to guide your intervention.

6. Relate each step of the change model to steps of your intervention with a table, with steps in the change model on the right and steps in your intervention on the right.

7. Complete and attach the NR621 Teaching Plan for any teaching or presentations you will carry out. Either you will teach a session to students or you will make a presentation to the staff about a practice change, depending on the nature of your Education Practicum Project. Add the teaching plan to the paper as an appendix. NOTE: you should have 4-5 objectives in the left-most column of the teaching plan

8. Attach any evaluation tools you will use as appendices. You need to know before implementation how you will measure your success. You may amend your evaluation tools right before you implement your project but need to identify early how you will evaluate your project. You are required to use (1) a test of knowledge/skill of some kind such as a pre and post-test and (2) a tool or survey to evaluate your lesson and teaching.

9. Attach all teaching materials used such as a PowerPoint presentation and handouts.

10. The paper should be 2 to 4 pages long, with a title page and reference list. This is an estimate to guide you and not a strict requirement. The goal is for you to end up with a 15-page document suitable for publication when you have finished your Education Practicum Project in NR622.

Preparing the paper

Reminder: You should use first person in this section of your proposal. Saying “I” is okay but you could call yourself a project manager; then you would say “the project manager.” Using phrases such as “this student” or “this author” is very awkward!
