Level of instruction
The Nursing Leadership in the 21st Century unit is meant for the end of program level of seniors
pursuing a bachelor of science in nursing.
Method/mode of delivering your teaching presentation
The course will be delivered in the form of PowerPoint presentations with adequate images,
written text, and explanations. A PowerPoint presentation will therefore cater to the different
types of learners in an ideal class, including auditory, visual reading, writing, and kinesthetic
learners.
Learning objectives
By the end of the nursing leadership in the 21st Century course, students should be able to
1. Discuss different leadership theories and how such theories can be applied in professional
nursing practice to promote efficiency, productivity and effectiveness.
2. Examine leadership skills concepts and decision-making to create a culture of highquality and safe nursing care as members of interprofessional teams.
3. Effectively evaluate the knowledge and skills of delegation, assertiveness, networking,
stress, management, and problem-solving in complex healthcare environments.
4. Be able to clearly identify the need for changing the healthcare environment while
participating in systems of change and creative strategies.
5. Effectively incorporate clear communication techniques, including conflict resolution
and negotiation, so as to effectively promote positive working relationships.
6. Effectively apply tools and knowledge to manage physical and human resources in
healthcare environments.

Teaching strategies and learning activities
One of the approaches I will utilize to drive my instructions and engage students is the active
Learning approach. Active learning includes learning activities in which students are needed to
interact and participate in the learning processes as opposed to just passing the information.
According to Lamon et al. (2020), when students are given an opportunity to actively engage
with the information they are learning, they comprehend better and are able to apply that
information more effectively. Active learning, therefore, matches the brain and provides the
brain with an extended opportunity to connect between old and new information. Active learning
also helps to correct previous misconceptions among the students and also provides them with an
opportunity to reconsider existing opinions and thoughts. According to Lamon et al. (2020), the
main advantages of active learning include enhancing the learning of information within its
context, prolonging motivation and engagement, encouraging free-thinking and creativity,
learning from trial and error, and promoting and encouraging active participation among students
and also enhancing collaborative learning. In contrast, the main shortcomings of active learning
7
include being time-consuming and providing an opportunity for students to develop
misconceptions promoting memorization in some instances (Lamon et al., 2020).
Another teaching strategy that will be utilized in the course will be case-based learning. Casebased learning, also known as the case method, is a teaching method that relies on real-life
problems or hypothetical problems to supplement theoretical knowledge. In the case-based
learning strategy, students are awarded various cases to research which allows for the practical
application of different concepts that will be learned in class. For this course which will involve
nursing leadership in the 21st Century, the students will therefore be provided with different
leadership cases to help them understand various concepts. The main advantages of case-based
learning are that it provides students with hands-on learning opportunities to apply and connect
their theoretical understanding. Another significant advantage of case-based learning is that it
facilitates collaborative learning in the classroom while also helping to build interest and
motivate students to engage in active learning tasks (McLean, 2016). Case-based learning also
plays a significant role in encouraging students to learn more through exploration and
experimentation. Case-based learning also plays a significant role in exposing students to
different thought processes and perspectives. Finally, case-based learning helps in the
development of higher critical skills, cognitive skills, problem-solving, reasoning, inquiry-based
learning, and introspection. One of the main disadvantages of the case-based learning approach
is time-consuming assessment. Case-based learning makes it difficult for teachers to assess their
students effectively. Case-based learning also relies heavily on good communication (McLean,
2016).

Plans for individual learning differences
The learning differences of different types of students will be considered in the course, which
will include the use of PowerPoint presentations that will cater to the different types of learners
in the class, including auditory, visual reading, writing, and kinesthetic learners.
