Faculty Teaching Modalities and Reflective Practice

Outcomes

Purpose

This section provides educators with the knowledge and skills to support collaborative student-centred pedagogies in mental health and addiction nursing curricula. Resources and tools also support faculty to engage in and promote self-reflective practice, as well as highlight how faculty can maintain student safety in the learning environment and promote self-care. Finally, this section also focuses on the role of preceptorship, mentorship as a source of nursing faculty supports.

  • Understand pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning that are student centred, collaborative and consistent with recovery-oriented mental health practice.
