Introduction to an Academic Nursing Role
Time: 1 - 2 Hours | Format: Online | Pace: Learner Led
The academic environment is characterized as having its own distinct culture, language, values, behaviors, and expectations. Research indicates that new faculty are generally unfamiliar with academia and unaware of the complex work and performance expectations associated with teaching, scholarship, research, and service (Fritz, 2018).
Transitioning into academia requires socialization and enculturation into a new faculty role. This micro-credential is designed to give you the opportunity to reflect on who you are and what is important to you and consider how this foundation influences your transition into your teaching role. Each participant has the opportunity to reflect on and articulate their values and what teaching nursing means to them.
Learning Goals
Upon completion of this micro-credential, participants will have the opportunity to:
Completion Criteria
1. Submit a video/audio or two-paragraph written reflection on ‘why’ you pursued an academic role, ‘how’ you understand your role in academia, and your ‘expectations’ associated with your role.
2. Submit a visual outlining your core values and in one or two sentences, express why these are important to you.
