A bit more information

This is an opportunity for you to join content expert Julie Sutton, RDH MS and other fellow educators to discuss innovative strategies on teaching public health and building a foundation for civic engagement. Particularly during a time when extramural sites could be reduced or missing, creativity is the key to continued engagement.  Attendees of this session will have the opportunity to openly discuss strategies and the different strengths and weaknesses of our varied communities with fellow colleagues and a public health expert to collectively navigate service learning and public health.

Objectives: 

• Characterize: Develop a shared list of characteristics which define excellent public health instruction in the dental hygiene curriculum
• Reflect: Reflect and share our personal practices in public health teaching which support excellent teaching and which reveal areas for growth
• Collect and supply strategies for reworking exposed weaknesses within a course for growth

Educators Platform Masterminds are dynamic two-hour virtual sessions building on each other’s challenges, ideas and successes in the presence of a content expert. Mastermind sessions are thoughtfully facilitated to create an environment for like-minded colleagues to share and learn from one another with the goal of collective professional growth and development. Sessions are uniquely tailored to the needs of participants. Those attending will have the opportunity to create strong connections with other participants to last a whole career.
