Partnering: I've been using the techniques discussed in this week's reading unwittingly! Being shoved into the clinical education setting, I've been very hesitant to answer students' questions directly...for fear of 'stepping on the toes' of the other instructors, appearing 'unknowing' to the students, and from simply NOT knowing what they were told by the previous instructor! (The previous instructro quit w a few days notice and left everyone grappling for a hold on the situation.) I was not given ANY info, lesson plans, material covered, material needing covering, etc...SO, I send the student back to the source when asked such a question. "What does your syllabus tell you is needed?; Is that info in your clinic manual?; Better double check your deadline on that!"...etc etc etc. As I said, UNWITTINGLY, I've been guiding them vs leading them! FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT!! HAHAHAHA Ok, this is crazy...While posting the prezi, I just found this post 'hanging out' as a draft...AGAIN. I'm not sure what I'm doing that is causing my blogs NOT to post. ANY HELP??
