2025 Faculty Teaching and Learning Conference
Teaching with Intention: Designing Programs for Critical Thinking and Client-Focused Care
Addison Academics is pleased to accept abstract submissions for posters and podium presentations.
​
This year's theme places a strong emphasis on the significance of intentional program design and instruction in fostering critical thinking skills, enhancing decision-making abilities, and promoting client-centered care in nursing education. As educators, we recognize the vital role we play in shaping the future of healthcare through the education and development of our students. 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.
We believe that by intentionally designing programs that emphasize critical thinking and client-centered care, we can contribute to the transformation of healthcare and ensure the provision of high-quality, compassionate nursing care. We invite you to submit proposals for presentations, workshops, and panel discussions that align with the conference theme. Share your experiences, insights, and innovative approaches that have proven successful in promoting critical thinking and client-focused care in nursing education. Together, let us inspire and empower one another to create meaningful change in our teaching practices.
