Nursing DARP Teamwork

Nursing faculty chose to focus on the Transparent Assignments (TiLT) teaching strategy for the ASN Departmental Action Research Plan, with the ultimate goal for the project being to increase overall student course success. Devon Darby served as the PD lead for the initiative. While all full-time ASN faculty had an opportunity to contribute to the development of the DARP through discussions during faculty meetings, the following faculty members provided additional support by attending Communities of Practice Workshops and/or by providing additional feedback about the project outside of faculty meetings: Amanda Austin, Trisha Clarke, Kelli Harker, Nilda Lopez, Sandra Milner, Heather Richardson, and Cheryl Woelfle. The Chair of Nursing Programs, Tracy Ison, also contributed to and supported the project. Devon Darby, Kelli Harker, and Sandra Milner created and implemented TiLT assignments in their courses.
