Title: Assessing Professional Behaviors in Pre-Clerkship Medical Students Using the “Team” in Team-Based Learning Presenters: Amanda Emke Time: Tuesday, November 6 at 12 PM EST Archive link: https://vimeo.com/371442285
The TBLC free webinar series will take a brief break over the holidays and return in February. Stay tuned for more information after the beginning of the year! Have an idea for a webinar? Let us know at support@tblcadmin.org.
In next month’s free TBLC webinar, presenter Amanda Emke from Washington University School of Medicine will discuss assessing professional behaviors in pre-clerkship medical students in a team setting. Preclinical physician training often focuses on individual knowledge acquisition as students work individually and indirectly with faculty assessors. Therefore, the assessment of professionalism in preclinical training allowing for longitudinal assessment and early recognition of at-risk behaviors continues to present challenges. Team-Based Learning (TBL), with peer interactions at its instructional core, provides unique opportunities for direct observation of professional behaviors. Dr. Emke and her team developed a novel assessment strategy using paired self- and peer-assessments of professional behaviors observed during TBL sessions.

Strategic Management, Strategic Planning, and Strategic Analysis
Title: Strategic Management, Strategic Planning, and Strategic Analysis Authors: Annetta Dolowitz Affiliations: University of Alabama at Birmingham Resources available with this module: Readings, application exercise, RAT Context: Nonprofit Organizational Management
This module will cover various readings and videos related to Strategic Planning and Strategic Management. You will explore in detail how leadership and strategic management and planning will make or break any business. We will explore how critical strategic planning and management are to nonprofits. You will see that there are challenges to creating a plan, especially depending on the size and the age of the nonprofit. You and your team will be creating a SWOT analysis for the Class NPO as well as for your Service Learning partners. Be sure to look for tips and best practices other NPOs offer. Clear understanding of conducting a strategic analysis will improve the quality of your midterm project proposals as well as your third reflection paper and final presentation centered around your Service Learning project.Required Reading
None
Objectives
Demonstrate and apply experience and skills that you have read or heard in class activities, and in your service learning projects, while adding skills to your resume.
Identify the theoretical and conceptual foundations of a nonprofit.
Assess and explain how strategic management competencies are applied to nonprofit organizations by running a SWOT analysis.
Take the results of your SWOT analysis to evaluate Class NPO Partner to develop and defend strategies to address your findings for the Class NPO Partner Project.
Critique the role of accountability, ethics, and social responsibility in the management of a nonprofit organization.
Evaluate, explain, and defend the results of your project for your partner NPO.
Demonstrate professional development.

The Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC) is offering two unique opportunities to learn about team-based learning at their regional workshops in Phoenix, Arizona and Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
TBL Regional Workshop – Phoenix, AZ Saturday, September 14, 2019 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Airport Faculty Instructors: Judi Bradetich and Chris Burns
TBLC Regional Workshop – Mechanicsburg, PA Saturday, September 21, 2019 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center Faculty Instructors: Liz Winter and Sarah Leupen
Each of these all-day sessions will offer 2 workshops:
Fundamental Principles and Practices of TBL This workshop will be an introduction to Team-Based Learning™ (TBL) conducted in the TBL format. Participants will be given a preparatory assignment, divided into teams, given individual and team readiness assurance tests with immediate feedback, and achieve consensus with their team on a set of increasingly challenging application-based questions.
The goal of this workshop is for participants to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the fundamental components, the sequence of events, and the benefits of TBL. Learning Objectives:
Describe the essential principles and components of Team-Based Learning (TBL).
Explain how and why TBL works.
Discuss the benefits of using TBL.
Illustrate how to transform a small group into a productive learning team.
Creating an Effective TBL Module This workshop is for educators who have completed the introductory workshop on Team-Based Learning™ – TBL 101. The entire workshop is conducted in a TBL format and there is an advance assignment.
Participants will practice and develop skills for creating effective Team-Based Learning modules by participating in the following activities:
a clarification of the process and importance of readiness assurance
differentiation of the levels and types of application exercise questions
an opportunity to practice writing objectives for an application exercise writing an application exercise and comparing and contrasting the application exercises of others
Title: Elements Authors: Lorrie Comeford Affiliations: Salem State University Resources available with this module: Readings Context: General Chemistry I (Undergraduate) This module is for General Chemistry I which is the first chemistry course taken by undergraduate chemistry and biology majors. It has been used with classes ranging in size from 35 to 40. This is the second TBL module in the course, and it typically takes three 90 minute periods to complete. Topics include: the periodic table, elements, ions, isotopes, molar mass and moles.
Required Reading
Students are given the following reading guide for a chapter in their textbook. This module was used with Chemistry: A Molecular Approach by Nivaldo Tro (Tro, Nivaldo J. Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 3rd ed.; Prentice Hall: Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2013.), but it could be adapted for any General Chemistry text. In the text by Tro, students read sections 2.5-2.9 which is about 20 pages. All reading assignments are posted at the beginning of the semester, and students have at least two days to complete the reading.
Objectives
Predict the reactivity and physical properties of the elements using the periodic table.
Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons for a given isotope.
Write the symbol for an isotope given the number of protons and neutrons.
Determine the number of protons and electrons for a given ion.
