Part 1 Student Condition Faculty Presentation
:

 

Description:
Using your assigned chronic health condition, which can be found on the Discussions page (posted after week 2), you will develop a presentation for the faculty in your school focusing on a student who has recently been enrolled or diagnosed (your choice) with the designated chronic health condition. Your presentation focuses on various aspects (listed below) that will assist the teaching staff to provide a safe educational environment for the student.

Students with health conditions typically have a Section 504 Plan or an IEP. The School Nurse is involved in developing adaptations that pertain to the child’s individual health needs. The nurse develops an IHP which is an additional tool to assist with physical needs or health related procedures. To develop the IHP, communication with the parents, the child (if appropriate) and contacting healthcare providers is essential. With this information, the nurse develops the student’s health-related goals and objectives, nursing protocol for care, and provides training to teachers and staff regarding the health needs of the child, encouraging feedback from those involved to assist with evaluation and plan modifications.

You have been notified that a student has registered for school or has recently been diagnosed with a condition matching  your assigned chronic health condition. As the CSN, you are aware that this student will require medical care during the school day and the teachers working with the student should be oriented to the student’s condition and plan of care.

For example, a new student is entering your school with Cerebral Palsy and Type I DM. Using the information you received from the previous school, your conversation with the parents, the child and doctors, you develop a health plan to care for this student during the school day. In your presentation, you will present the information about the student, with the below listed components, and plan of care for when the student is in the school building.

The Student Condition Faculty Presentation should include: A minimum of 3 peer reviewed articles, 1 textbook, an Individualized Health Plan (IHP) a Section 504 Plan, and Emergency Action Plan
(
EAP) and Reference Slide. Please refer to the rubric for this assignment for specifics.

The IHP, Section 504 Plan and Emergency Action Plan are assignments later in the course

 

Three health plans (ECP, IHP, and Section 504 Plan) for the student are part of the presentation requirements. If your “student” doesn’t have a medical illness/condition warranting these health plans, please let me know, and we will discuss a comorbidity to include with your presentation. Please feel free to email me with a suggestion for a comorbidity if one tickles your fancy (asthma, an allergy, diabetes, seizures, Crohn’s disease, etc.). Each presentation will have a condition where the child must have the three health plans included in their care plan.

Also, this assignment is 
NOT, NOT, NOT, 
a case study. As you read the directions, you will see that you are preparing a presentation for your faculty on a new student entering your building (or a student with a new diagnosis). You have already met with the family and are the expert on this student’s medical needs. The information you present to the faculty is some background information about the condition in terminology they will understand, information about the family, and home life, medical care both outside of school and during school hours, any accommodations based on their medical needs (extra books in each class/home, a para professional to assist them throughout the day, free access to bathrooms or the nurse, etc), and signs/symptoms of problems that the teachers should be aware of including when to call the nurse. Oh, and did I mention it’s 
NOT
 a case study?!?!

Many of you may not have an actual child on whom to base this assignment. This is where your creative writing classes come into play. Search for some case studies on the internet and piece together a child who could possibly attend your school. The child doesn’t have to have an overly complex case. Still, I am looking for how you would prepare for a child with medical issues coming to your building, organizing the information, and presenting this to your faculty. This assignment is a real-world assignment. You could be asked to do something like this as a CSN. I want to include more real-world assignments in the courses—the students like these more than writing papers.

NO WRITTEN PAPER IS DUE RELATED TO THIS INFORMATION!

FAQs Related To Final Project:

Is there a minimum/maximum number of slides?
No for either. The key is not to add too much written text to your slides. Your slides are your outline. The audience shouldn’t be distracted reading your slides instead of listening to you.

Do we need speaker notes?
Speaker notes are optional. These may help you as your are recording. VOICEOVER is required.

Can I do a mock presentation and record myself instead of doing a voiceover?
No. While this creates an acceptable presentation with some programs, it makes a hollow-sounding, less-than-optimal presentation in others. Brightspace is NOT compatible with all formats. It depends on the package and version of Brightspace Eastern has in relation to what you are using to record your presentation. Microsoft PPT has a built-in recording option. Google Slides does not. I have not tried the new Google Vids. I’m hoping Google has finally come around to add their own recording option with this option.

Can I use Canva or other types of slide creating programs?
Yes. Many of these have their own voiceover options or you can download to PowerPoint to add voiceover.

Do we present like a lecture?
You present like you are talking to your colleagues. Faculty tend to have a short attention span and a low tolerance to being lectured. Talk to them as if you are having a conversation. Include them in the presentation if possible. Encourage their input and questions. Avoid areas that apply to only a small part of the group- such as the health plans. You can review these in detail with that portion of the group. Afterall, what you have written may not work for them, and revisions may be needed. Don’t be afraid to add humor if appropriate. Ehlers Danilo’s Syndrome Essay

What about using maintaining privacy, do we use student names?
You are presenting to a group who already know who this student is. It’s ok to use the student’s name in the presentation. You want to create a welcoming atmosphere for this child and not one that is cold and clinical.

Do we have to include the Health Plans?
Yes- sort of. Some students have a very difficult time adding the Health Plans to the slides due to the size of the plans or formatting. In this case, please discuss the health plans and indicate that you will review the Health Plans in detail with the appropriate faculty at a later date.

How much information do we provide?
Provide the staff with sufficient background information to understand how the student arrived at their current point. They need a little background about the condition, but not an entire scientific lecture on the diagnosis. They will shut down, and you will lose them quickly. They need to know how the illness/condition will impact the classroom, how much time the child will miss, what medical accommodations will be needed, (academic accommodations will be discussed by special ed), will there be a private aid in the classroom, when/will the child have to report to the nurse for treatments, what emergency signs/symptoms should they monitor for, what should be done in these situations, does the classroom need special configuration, is there anything the teacher should have or not have in the classroom, what about fire drills, cafeteria, field trips, special classes, transportation, doctor appointments, are the parents/guardians approachable/reachable during the school day, and any other particulars.

What is an Annotated Bibliography and what resources do I use?
This information is provided under the same tab as the Faculty Presentation Information. You are using the references used for the Faculty Presentation to complete your Annotated Bibliography. The key to a quality Annotated Bibliography is that each summary has 3 components: 1) Is the content of your source CREDIBLE? 2) Is the information in the reference RELEVANT? and finally 3) Does your source demonstrate careful consideration of QUALITY? When writing your annotation be sure your 
Annotation
shows careful reading and clear understanding of source
content, quality,
and
relevance
for every source. When you are finished,
each Annotation should be able to come together to form a paper of its own
. If your Annotations don’t seem to be able to do this, you probably don’t have the correct information included. Research some Annotations, view videos on YouTube. There are some great instructional videos on how to write an Annotated Bibliography. There are videos under CONTENT also.

What to include in Annotated Bibliography-

Credible Sources:

Consider the following criteria:

Authority: Who is the author? What are their credentials?…

Accuracy: Compare the author’s information to that which you already know is reliable …..

Coverage: Is the information relevant to your topic and does it meet your needs? …

Currency: Is your topic constantly evolving?

It is important to be able to identify which sources are credible. This ability requires an understanding of depth, objectivity, currency, authority, and purpose. Whether or not your source is peer-reviewed, it is still a good idea to evaluate it based on these five factors.
