STAFF EDUCATION PLAN
Perform Assessment
First, you must perform an assessment to determine what you would like to teach/educate others on. Perhaps this is something you have special knowledge of or experience in that could be of benefit to the staff, or maybe it is something that you have observed being done incorrectly at your facility, it might be something you believe could benefit a segment of the staff, or it might be something the education director identifies as an area requiring staff education. You get to choose who your audience is (nurses, nursing students, CNAs, etc.). Make sure the topic is one that you can cover in a 15-20-minute presentation. State how you determined your topic area.
Learner Analysis of Target audience
Once a topic area has been determined, a specific target audience is identified based on need, and a learner analysis is conducted to determine what the specific knowledge/experience level is on the identified topic. Get Exceptional Assignment Help for all forms of Assignments.
a. Choose a method to evaluate the knowledge level of the target audience. The method may be an observation of psychomotor skills, a written or verbal survey, or a verbal exchange with nursing personnel or with the staff education department. The data should be objective, documented, and quantifiable. The goal in this step is to determine how the targeted audience might benefit from education and what specific areas need to be addressed.
b. Provide documentation of analysis methods and results with the submission of the assignment.
Identify barriers to learning
a. Analyze the traits and qualities of the target audience as part of the learner analysis. Discuss educational level, skill level, knowledge level, experience, cultural issues, age, etc.
b. Assess the environment where the education will be conducted (context analysis). Consider room size, predicted number of participants, temperature, lighting, noise, acoustics, and access to A-V equipment.
c. Identify potential barriers to learning in the audience and the environment.
d. Develop a plan to reduce identified barriers to learning
