5. Strategy: Success Teams

Application: Dental Hygiene - DH  235: Senior Seminar

Educator: Diane Loera, Faculty, Dental Hygiene, Cerritos College, CA

Implementation: To create interdependence and encourage lifelong learning, I created success teams of students in clinical groups. At the end of each clinical day, I have students reflect on and write about the experiences they had that day with their patient and any lessons learned. These experiences can relate to patient management, instrumentation, giving injections, or anything else of significance. The students then share what they wrote with their success teams. After all students share in their success team, each success team picks the one experience and lesson they think was the most beneficial and the student presents it to the all of the success teams. This strategy encourages students to think deeply about what they are learning from their own experiences as well as to learn from the experiences of others.
