NRS 425 Benchmark – Community Teaching Project – Part 1
Selection, Research, and Assessment
Throughout this course, students will be working on the Community Teaching Project. The project will include a community teaching presentation given during Topic 5. The audience for the presentation will be community members, rather than the staff at the community agency chosen or in-patient residents.
The Community Teaching Project has indirect care experience requirements. The “Indirect Care Experience Hours” form, located in Topic 1 resources, will be used to document the indirect care experience hours completed in the Community Teaching Project and presentation. As progress is made on the Community Teaching Project, update this form indicating the date(s) each section is completed. This form will be submitted in Topic 5.
In this topic, students will be selecting, researching, and assessing a nonprofit community setting in their community using one of the following four topics:
- Primary prevention/health promotion
- Secondary prevention/screening for a vulnerable population
- Disaster planning
- Environmental issues
The following are considered appropriate nonprofit community organization settings:
- Public health clinic
- Community health center
- University/school health center
- Religious community (i.e., local church)
- Community center (i.e., YMCA)
- Adult/childcare center
- Youth development organization (i.e., 4-H, scout troops, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.)
- Senior centers
- Food pantries (St. Mary’s Food bank, St. Vincent De Paul, etc.)
- Community shelters (i.e., women’s shelter, women and children’s shelter, or homeless shelters)
Review the objectives and measures describes on the “Healthy People 2030” website, listed in the Topic 1 Resources, to assist in selecting a topic for the project.
