Editor's Notes
- Opener: Bar-Kays About Me What I want us to do in this class – share stories, brainstorm, ponder, learn … More organizing and applying knowledge so you can frame things differently than a delivery of concepts and info. Metaphor for teaching: Soup chef Coxswain on rowing team Coach Stage manager Driver’s ed instructor with student in driver’s seat Co-explorer Teaching philosophy: To make the strange familiar and the familiar strange. Start with the why - Make my work and thought process visible to open opportunities for building a connected, purposeful network Context – parent of college students, daughter of a teacher, doctoral student, … 25+ years working in the clinical sector as an OT
- What’s most important to me – linking learning to personal experience and importance – engagement – moving beyond memorization. “Through my teaching, I hope to create an atmosphere of passion, creativity, and discovery. I want to inspire others to learn how they learn and to think about how they think, to spread their wings but at the same time to have a solid foundation to come back to when needed. I aspire to be a stepping stone in a learner’s path that helps get him/her to a place of passion and fulfillment, no matter where that may be.” Parallel between OT and teaching start with the outcome goals (planning backwards – begin with the end in mind)
- Curriculum Sequence: Children – Adults – Elderly Wellness – Diseases/Conditions (Perspectives) – Assessment & Intervention (Occ-Ctrd Practice)
- “How do you know what to do with a patient?” Course Plan & Outline – 3 phases Syllabus Four credits Tips for success: assignments, guidelines for contacting me, orientation to course on BB, grading rubrics (“feedback forms”) Open-book quiz on info in syllabus, taken with 1-2 other people
- Challenges = growth opportunities Grades – important Learning and growth – More Important Have 3 “non-artists” draw a cat. Give no directions to one; decent written instructions to another, and step-by-step verbal directions to the third. Who had the deepest learning? Like being given a location in a new city to find - on your own vs. with a map vs. with a guide/driver. Draw diagram on board showing TOO EASY – TOO HARD – ZONE of DISCOMFORT - “just right challenge” Education is not something that you learn in closed doors it is something you acquire by living the experiences. All the situations, all the hardships, that you will go through during school, prepare you, although in a small way, to face the hardships you will face in real life.
- Challenge 1A: Based on what you know so far about this course, why is it compared to a sampler platter? How do you think that will impact your learning process?
- Each row of weeks makes up one year. That’s how many weeks it takes to turn a newborn into a 90-year-old. It kind of feels like our lives are made up of a countless number of weeks. But there they are—fully countable—staring you in the face.
- The area in the black loop is the amount of time you’ll spend in OT school. The days are long, but the years are short. What’s the class going to be like? List of Expectations = roadmap Top Ten in 10 (mins.) - Ten Ways to Succeed in this Course Contacting me- Email best, 24 hr. response time Office hours - doesn’t have to be re: problem Departmental/College-wide Policies Dress code Honor Code – incl. self-plagarism Accommodations Be Proactive Self-directed learning environment Prepare – pre-class assignments, studying and working on assignments along the way. What it means to be prepared in this class: Do the reading and THINK about it. In class, we will move past that to integrate the material into something that seems relatable and relevant. Students will be asked to explain material in their own words and to connect the dots to the material and previous topics or discussions. We may have debates, share thoughts and opinions, compare topics, talk about examples and case studies, create visuals, play games, etc. Engage Contribute - add to learning process with opinion/experiences/ideas Don’t try to multi-task - will be allowed to use device at times Office hours Just in case If UTHSC closes due to weather, check Bb for info regarding the plan for making up the missed class(es). If you’re sick Presentation of Materials How materials will be provided needed for success in the class Powerpoints – note-taking Assignments – Starting with The Why? Linked to course learning objectives Grading criteria Encoding, reflecting, relating Reflect Take time to digest and make meaning Sharpening the saw Try to connect learning to your own past experience or prior knowledge
- Need for repetition and opportunities to practice and relate material to one’s previous knowledge/experience to develop a new schema Self-directed learning 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgfFCnBdSas (1:37) Self-directed learning 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDimJQQySzA (1:46) Effective learning strategies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n1xSXb9VGg (1:09) Retrieval practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjrqc6UMDKM (2:59) Spaced practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WJYp98eys8 (1:41) Elaboration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQRzW24KrDc (1:31) The truest form of education is the one that prepares you for the things you haven't even encountered, the challenges you haven't even faced. If you put yourself in situations that scare you, make you feel vulnerable, make you rethink all that you have done in life – that’s how you grow and end up living a full life. Wouldn't life be super stale if you knew what is going to happen tomorrow ? Quoting Bruce Lee here "Be water my friend", never restrict yourself to what you have been taught all over the years, the whole essence of learning something is to make that something a part of yourself and forget you ever learned it, that is the only way to truly absorb a skill, an art or an idea for that matter.

- Occupations through the lifespan – Occupations may change over time The term occupation can overlap with the term activity – Running Washing dishes Walking the dog
