I Don’t Know What to do for This Assignment — TILT to Improve Learner Success

Jody Lester, MA, FAARC

Jody Lester

Have students ever submitted exactly the opposite of what you asked for or told you "I don't know what to do for this assignment"? This lecture discusses how transparently designed assignments offer equitable opportunities for all students to succeed and promote students' conscious understanding of how they learn. Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) is an ongoing research project and community focused on the improvement of higher education teaching and learning for both faculty and students. By describing the Purpose, Task, and Criteria for Success of any learning activity, students have better access to the material and opportunities to succeed. Students who received transparent instruction had increases in academic confidence, a sense of belonging, a sense of gaining employer-valued skills, and 13% to 15% higher retention rates up to two years later. By focusing on the how and why of learning and assignments, TILT aims to close the equity gaps and challenges that are faced by first-generation, historically under-represented, and minoritized students and enhances learning and success in all students.

Respiratory Care Productivity … It Just Doesn't Have to Be So Hard!

Kim Bennion, MsHS, RRT, CHC

Kim Bennion

Join the presenter and this interactive session as she shares the four key “buckets” of productivity as well the contents that RT do to “fill” each bucket. Capturing the value that RTs bring to an organization is so much more than billable charges. While Respiratory Care leaders understand this, getting executive leaders and external consultants to fully understand this continues to be a challenge. This takes an understanding of the science (data, facts, standardized terminology) and artful communication. The presenter will share templates and other resources to help attendees in presenting the true value of Respiratory Therapists.

Respiratory therapists can play an intricate role within a health system to support patients and their families with chronic pulmonary diseases. This lecture will focus on how to implement care coordination into an inpatient or outpatient setting to improve patient outcomes.
