Teaching with Intention: Designing Programs for Critical Thinking and Client-Focused Care

Transforming the Nursing Landscape

Jun 16, 2025, 7:00 AM – Jun 17, 2025, 5:00 PM
Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus

Overview

Addison Academics, specializes in elevating faculty teaching, is organizing this conference. Our primary objective is to provide faculty members with an opportunity to enhance their classroom skills and improve students' ability to make clinical judgements resulting in positive patient outcomes. During this conference, we will explore innovative strategies, best practices, and evidence-based approaches that can be integrated into program design and instruction to empower our students to think critically and provide client-focused care. We will delve into topics such as curriculum development, teaching methodologies, assessment strategies, and the integration of technology to enhance learning outcomes.

Clinical judgement is not new to nursing education, it’s about being intentional when we reinforce this skill with our students. This is imperative as our generalist nurses are taking care of sicker patients than 20 years ago. Focusing our teaching on the process of thinking through nursing situations as well as the decision making involved, will increase the competence of new nurses in making better, more insightful and safe decisions. This conference will focus on strategies to enhance classroom teaching effectiveness.
