The NURS 618 Week 5 method, step by step
Start from the need
Define the need the General Nursing Topic Teaching Plan answers: who it is for, what gap exists, and how you know. A plan without an assessed need has nothing to measure against.
Write measurable objectives
Write objectives that name the audience, the behavior or outcome, the level and the time frame.
Choose methods that fit the objectives
Match each objective to a method and justify the match with evidence (A reference page of 3 to 5 scholarly sources in addition to the textbooks).
Plan the resources and timeline
Show the sequence and the resources. A realistic timeline makes the plan credible.
Plan the evaluation
Tie each objective to a measure and a time point. Evaluation is where most plans are thinnest.
Format and length
Follow the required template or headings and check length (The provided worksheet, completed in full) and APA.
