Summary Reflection on the Planning Process:
Just as the nurse engages in evidence-based practice (EBP), nurse-educators engage in evidence-based teaching (EBT).
Consider the complexity of the preparation that needs to occur to achieve EBT:
 Establish lesson learning objectives that contribute toward achievement of course and program outcomes
 Identify appropriate teaching and learning strategies for the content being taught – draw from current evidence
 Identify appropriate formative and summative evaluation strategies for the content being taught – draw from current evidence
 Attend to general principles of effective teaching/learning, including adult learning theory, environmental management, and more
Following each teaching session, engage in reflection about the process of creating your lesson, what worked well, and what could have
gone better. Write a short paragraph below to capture your thoughts.
