You’re riding in a
Comfy, Cozy Car!
You are an expert clinician and have a true passion for teaching - you love working with students (especially in the clinical setting where you see the ahh moments!). But you have a hard time generating creative ideas or coming up with engaging classroom activities. You have used the tried-and-true lecture with success but are ready to add some pizzazz to your teaching toolbox!
You are traveling down the road at a comfortable pace. Your lessons have an outline, and you feel at ease leading your students. But there is also a pull to add a bit of excitement, a few engaging activities, or a dash of engaging discussion to your content. The lecture is working, but you know you could do more to connect theory to practice.
Your greatest opportunity for success is seeking inspiration and safe experimentation.
Inspiration can come from unexpected sources and creativity is often nurtured in pursuits outside of the typical workday. Once you have found the inspiration fire, you can learn to embrace experimentation in a way that feels safe and controlled to you.
Key Characteristics of a Comfy, Cozy Car:
Does this sound like you?
You love to help students and connect their learning to clinical practice through stories and your own experiences.
The idea of building an activity from scratch, from generating the idea, developing the resources, and testing it out, makes you a bit queasy. You would rather use something already created and tested.
You are comfortable with your teaching style but know you could do just a bit more to create a truly stellar student experience.
