Teaching Toolkit Home
The purpose of this Teaching Toolkit is to provide current and future nurse educators with resources specifically geared towards teaching in clinical settings. This toolkit should serve as a general guide, and we strongly encourage you to consult your clinical or institutional policies for specific requirements and guidelines.
Contained within this toolkit are best practices, templates, helpful tips, and evidence-based approaches. Please email us at NENurseAcademy@umassmed.edu if you have additional resources that we can add to it!

Educational Frameworks for Clinical Teaching This section of the Toolkit contains both conceptual and practical frameworks that can help you plan and improve your clinical teaching. While it is important to utilize precepting methods such as the One Minute Preceptor (covered in Section 2) during teaching, these frameworks provide robust information that can help you assess a learner’s progress, competence, and abilities in a comprehensive manner. |
Inclusive PreceptingAn essential element of effective teaching is fostering a safe, inclusive learning environment. In this section of the toolkit, we will provide resources to assist you in this process to address bias and guide responses to exclusionary behavior from colleagues and patients. |
