Slight Programmatic Changes for the RN to BSN Program
No full textThis proposal has 2 foci:
The department of nursing would like to drop the prerequisites of developmental assessment and nutrition for students in the RN to BSN program. All students in this program have attained these prerequisities by credit by exam. Many associate degree programs eliminated these two course and have integrated the content throughout the curriculum. Attaining licensure indicates mastery of the development assessment and nutrition content. Showing mastery of these courses is no longer needed.
The current RN to BSN program began in 2007. At that time, PRO 451 Issues and Leadership and Management and NUR 321 Pharmacology taught in the RN to BSN program were the same courses as those taught in the traditional pre-licensure nursing program. Over the past few years, faculty teaching in the RN to BSN program have identified additional and different needs that Registered Nurses in the RN to BSN program have for this content to further and better build on their knowledge learned in their associates program as well as the clinical experience that they have had as a working Registered Nurse. Thus, faculty would like to replace these two courses with PRO 453 Leadership and Management for the RN and NUR 322 Pharmacotherapeutics for the RN. These courses will build on the curriculum from the student\u27s ADN program but also on their clinical experience working as an RN

Positive Relationship Physical Activity Has on Cognitive Function in High School Students
Get PDFResearch shows a link between physical activity and cognitive function. This connection sheds light on the idea that physical activity can improve cognitive function. Penning et al., (2017) mentions that adolescents have high levels of sedentary behavior which makes them vulnerable for health concerns. During the school day students spend most of their time sitting and staying at a resting heart rate. Vazou, Pesce, Lakes, and Smiley-Owen (2019) found consistent evidence that aerobic or motor skill physical activity, enhanced childrenβs spatial abilities and working memory. Many hours were spent searching through data bases to find articles on this topic. The most common finding was that cognitive function improves, depending on the specific type of physical activity performed. Specific keyword searchers were performed to find the correct articles. Information was then sorted by keyword search and the types of physical activity performed. Data and articles were put into tables. In conclusion, there is viable information to prove physical activity can improve cognitive function
The Effects of Peer Tutoring on School-Aged Students with Moderate to Severe Disabilities in Physical Education
Get PDFThe purpose of this synthesis was to examine the existing scholarly knowledge regarding impact of peer tutoring programs on students with disabilities and typically developing students in physical education. Previous research identified several factors that contributed to the benefits and barriers of peer tutoring programs in physical education. Studies reviewed within the critical mass had common themes such as increase in socialization among students, engagement in activities, and improvement of skills. Common barriers that were discovered included, time consuming program, non-trained peer tutors, and peer tutors not participating in activities. Peer tutoring is an instructional strategy that is thought to be difficult to implement, however the benefits outweigh the barriers. Although, previous research notes peer tutoring program being effective and impactful on both students with and without disabilities in physical education, further research is necessary. Further research should study the effects of removing paraeducator proximity while implementing peer tutoring programs
A Spiraling Curriculum Project on Factoring for Grade 7-Algebra 2
Get PDFThis curriculum project was designed in response to the shift to the New York State Next Generation Standards to help teachers implement the updated standards for factoring in grades 7-12. These standards depend on spiraling curricula, but this aspect is often lost in implementation. This curriculum project provides units on factoring spanning grades 7, 8 (Pre-Algebra), Algebra I and Algebra II. This project has an emphasis on Mathematics Practice Standards 7 and 8

Add Additional Graduate Seminars to Combined BS/MS Program in Environmental Science and Biology
No full textProposal to add three one-credit graduate seminars to combined BS/MS requirements, with no change in total credits required or BS portion of the program. This would create a series of four required one-credit seminars (ENV 705, 706, 707, and 708), replacing the two terms of ENV 705 currently required. Graduate students also would be required to take at least one of the three graduate-level statistics courses
