¶ … nursing development class. The theme of Stroke and brain injury will be continued to be used in order to highlight how an instructive class may be developed, instituted and assessed. This essay will discuss the learning objectives and present their delivery in a form that outlines basic teaching and learning principles that reflect the essence of healing and the professional medical community.
Class Need Assessment
Evaluating the learning for this class will come in different stages. The first half of the class is based on the cognitive and basic knowledge skills that nurses need to have to identify the important factors dealing with stroke. This knowledge can be assessed with a simple testing procedure that quizzes the student on their knowledge using multiple choice questions and answers. The second half of the instruction is more hands on and requires the students to perform their job in a simulated activity of treatment. This role playing assessment allows for timely feedback and denotes the advantages of group learning by having everyone in the class participate in the activity.
The following class's learner objectives are based on this schedule of events:

Become very familiar with the anatomy of the brain and its functions.
30 min
Lecture as communication
Questions / Answers.
The first learning objective that is desired for this stroke class is becoming familiar with the brain and its functions. The learning domain for this objective is cognitive This objective will be obtained through a 30 minute slide presentation. The topic of the slide presentation will be "Anatomy of the Brain." This activity will be lecture based and provide the 10 nursing students in the class a baseline level of information that is necessary to treating victims of strokes and helping them in their healing efforts. This corresponds in Bloom's taxonomy as knowledge. A useful teaching strategy for this objective is simply using lecture as a means of communication. This step represents the basic information and data that needs to be expressed for the nurses to have an idea about the topic.
Objective 2:
Learner Objective
Time Frame
Teaching Strategy
Evaluation Method
Identify the anatomical and physiological changes associated with strokes
30 min
Using analogy with short film and case studies.
Questions / Answers.
The second learning objective designed for this class is identifying the anatomic and physiological changes and alterations to the body that happens when someone has experienced a stroke. This learning objective is both affective and cognitive as it impels students to both feel and know what the stroke victim is experiencing and what courses of actions may be taken in this initial stage. This learning objective will be delivered by Nurse Katie and will include a short film and a slide show presentation with visual depictions. This learning objective corresponds to Blooms taxonomy of comprehension. A useful teaching strategy to achieve this objective is using analogy and case studies to highlight this information.
Objective 3
Learner Objective
Time Frame
Teaching Strategy
Evaluation Method
Discuss the risk factors associated with strokes
30 min
Lecture as communication
Questions / Answers.
The third learning objective dealing with this class is knowing the risk factors associated with stroke. This is a cognitive learning function that can be delivered in the first two class presentations. This learning objective is aligned with Bloom's taxonomy of analysis. An appropriate teaching strategy for this learning objective is implementing a concept map and having discussions with the class.
Objective 4
Learner Objective
Time Frame
Teaching Strategy
Evaluation Method
Mastery of neurological examination and imaging techniques used to identify locations of acute stroke
90 min
Practical Exercise.
After Action Review.
The fourth learning objective asks the nurses to master the skills that go into a neurological examination . Additionally, this objective will test the nurses physical, cognitive and affective means of learning as these three attributes are all represented in this learning objective and serves as the core objective in the entire class. The essence of this class is represented in this learning objective. This learning objective deals with Bloom's taxonomy of application.
Objective 5
Learner Objective
Time Frame
Teaching Strategy
Evaluation Method
Become aware of the role of nurses in the both immediate post stroke and rehab periods of recovery.
