Active learning educators for nursing students Traffic jam

You are a …

Curious Cyclist!

As a newer instructor, you are doing your best to keep your balance. But learning the rules of the road can be tough, especially when your capacity to carry more is limited.

Being a cyclist in the teaching traffic jam can be tough. You are managing your workload, keeping up with udpates, and learning new tools everyday - all while weaving between more experienced educators, student vehicles and outside pressure to pedal faster! You are thinking that active learning could be the best vehicle to transport you but you haven’t taken it out for a test drive just yet.

Your greatest opportunity for success is to approach active learning at a sustainable pace.

There is no rush. Your career will include many semesters of teaching and it is best to set a solid foundation in active learning so that you can continue to ride the teaching highway for years to come.
