Authenticity Academic Rigor Applied Learning Active Exploration Adult Relationships Assessment Practices Teaching about moving from “Me World to a We World”

People Skills Social interaction Communication Collaboration Problem solving

Preparation for Clinical Time

The emphasis on establishing “Community Partners” builds on the fact that robust knowledge and understandings are socially constructed through talk, activity, and interaction around meaningful problems and tools (Vygotsky, 1978).

SENARIO

You are dispatched to aid a 74-year-old male with a history of heart “issues.” Upon arrival, the scene is safe and you enter the home, you see the police officer doing compressions on the elderly man. The man’s wife is present and states he was just watching TV & she thought he’d just fallen asleep, because she had just been speaking with him. As soon as she noticed he was not breathing she called 911 . . .

THIS COULD BE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER
