Critical Conversations 1: An Introduction to Critical Conversations

CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS WITH MARY FEY: Many educators struggle with how to help their learners achieve high standards of practice while also maintaining a caring relationship with them. The new book by Sue Gross Forneris and Mary Fey, "Critical Conversations: The NLN Guide for Teaching Thinking" teaches how to grapple with this problem in three arenas: clinical teaching, simulation teaching, and classroom teaching. In this four part series, Jenny Rudolph and Mary Fey sit down to discuss how to have critical conversations with your learners in the clinic, in simulation, and in the classroom. This week, in part 1, Jenny and Mary give an introduction to what a critical conversation is, and how we can use it to improve our learner outcomes. Enjoy!
