What I have learned: I’ve learned that assessing competency requires moving beyond simple grades to using Observed Behavior and clear Rubrics. It’s also clear that faculty development is vital—we need the right tools and time to ensure our teaching strategies actually produce the professional outcomes that hospitals expect from our grads.
How I intend to apply it: I plan to use more detailed rubrics to lower student anxiety and provide better formative feedback during lab tasks. By focusing on real-time observation and tracking student/employer satisfaction, I can make sure my instruction stays effective and keeps our students "work-ready."
