Keeping nursing students actively engaged is one of the greatest challenges educators face. Whether teaching in the classroom, skills lab, simulation center, or clinical setting, faculty are continually looking for practical strategies that move students beyond memorization and toward clinical reasoning, clinical judgment, and confident decision-making.
Join us for an engaging, educator-led session focused on active learning strategies that can be implemented immediately across a variety of teaching environments. Through real-world examples, live demonstrations, and educator-to-educator discussion, we'll explore practical approaches that increase student participation, deepen understanding, and improve knowledge retention, without requiring a complete curriculum redesign.
During this session, participants will:
- Explore common barriers to student engagement and strategies to overcome them.
- Learn active learning techniques that can be used in the classroom, lab, simulation, and clinical settings.
- Discover approaches that strengthen clinical reasoning and clinical judgment.
- Experience several active learning activities firsthand that can be easily adapted to a variety of nursing courses.
- Leave with practical teaching strategies and ready-to-use educator resources that can be implemented immediately.
We'll also demonstrate how Level Up RN resources like Flashables can be used to reinforce learning before, during, and after instruction, creating a more consistent and engaging learning experience for students. Nurse educators who attend will receive FREE educator access to Flashables.
Whether you're a new educator building your teaching toolbox or an experienced faculty member looking for fresh ideas, you'll leave with practical strategies, adaptable activities, and resources designed to enhance student engagement, strengthen clinical judgment, and support student success.
