Eagle Summit: Learn. Grow. Soar.

If you are looking for an alternative to traditional point-based grading, join us to explore standards-based grading (SBG). This approach eliminates the hassle of partial credit and encourages meaningful discussions about course objectives. Watch your students use feedback to grow and learn! We will discuss practical implementation strategies for both seated and online courses. Do not miss this opportunity to reimagine how you assess your students!

At Ozarks Tech, we're committed to the four pillars of OTC Cares. But how can we ensure we're truly putting students first? In this session, we'll explore student-centered design, inspired by user-centered and human-centered approaches. We'll discuss how students naturally create their own paths and how we can use that perspective to improve their experience. By focusing on how they interact with college processes, we can make more thoughtful decisions that support them.

Reality shock and transition to practice is a significant issue for new nurses. As part of my doctoral program, I made revisions to our Management course to prepare our LPN students for their new role as Graduate Practical Nurses. I will present the research behind reality shock and transition to practice and provide concrete steps that faculty can take to prepare our students so they can be successful as they transition into the workforce in nursing and other programs.
