I'm just starting to prepare for a two hour guest lecture at a COTA
training program. I'm very excited because I love teaching and it's
been several years since I was in the classroom.
My prep work for teaching takes me back through my old lectures and I
want to share some tidbits that I gathered along the way of teaching.
In 1999, I was adjunct faculty at the Medical U. of South Carolina, my
alma mater. I was teaching a course called:
Current Trends in Occupational Therapy:
Discovering Your Occupational Self
This is one of the last overheads I showed to the students:
==================================================================
What I hope I have taught this class!
* Look to alternatives
* Meaning is often hidden but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important
* Many challenges and opportunities exist in your patients' lives.
Lead them down the path of occupational discovery.
* You can restore meaning, value, dignity, competence and a sense of
achievement. You can fill an existing void in health care.
* Occupation is tremendously powerful… understand and use it to its
fullest potential.
