April
Summary
During the month of April, the focus
was on the syllabus evaluation and the project demonstration. Our
group has been working hard this semester, brainstorming and creating a
community program “Road Scholars: Adventures
in Lifelong Learning” It has been a good feeling and sense of
accomplishment for our group to see the project come together by following the
assignments each month to lead us to the final demonstration.
This
month, we extended our syllabus to current educators to offer feedback based on
their expertise. The first
program review was provided by Emily Moulton who is an adjunct faculty member
at Ivy Tech Community College in downtown Indianapolis. Emily also serves as the assistant director
of student success and retention at the college. The second program evaluation
was completed by Michelle Bojrab MS, RD, CD.
Michelle is a clinical and community dietitian for St. Joseph Hospital
in downtown Fort Wayne. Michelle often participates in Health Fairs within the
community to several different populations and this year was the lead for
National Nutrition Month community events for Northeast Indiana Dietetic
Association. Michelle has a special
heart for the elderly community and often targets her community events at this
population.
In
all, the general consensus from the feedback was positive, yet constructively
criticized to allow our group to make changes to improve our community program
for the elderly population to better meet the anticipated needs of adult
learners who will participate. Following the feedback, we made adjustments and
began discussing our plan for the demonstration. We created our program
demonstration utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint, The design has really pulled
everything together and we have continually through the month of April put
finishing touches/adding information to the site to enhance it visually and
ensure completeness.
This
journey overall has allowed us to apply all that we have learned through
reading assignments, discussion boards, and research to creating a great avenue
for building the community and allowing for lifelong learning model directed
toward the elderly population. We feel our population will develop a sense of
being and self-value by having the opportunity to continue to learn, develop
and give back.
