Maggie presented to the JCCC Community for the Noon at the Nerman. She discussed two works of art by Kansan artist Hong Chun Zhang.
Here’s a summary of her talk:
Maggie collaborated with Krystal Anton of JCCC Sustainability to launch this green pilot project in Spring 2022.
Maggie and Krystal were awarded a sustainability grant and were able to purchase supplies to expand the green project across clinic in Spring 2023. Maggie developed a training module and quiz.
In summer 2020, Maggie collaborated with members of JCCC Dental Hygiene Faculty to develop a clinic reopening plan. Her specific roles included researching best practices, modifying clinic procedures, developing documentation and protocols, producing training materials, and securing CE credits for faculty. The project is ongoing.
Maggie collaborated with JCCC faculty on the Writing Across the Curriculum Committee on a presentation at Spring 2021 Professional Development Days:
Extraordinary times call for out-of-the-ordinary assignments. In this session, we will explore ways to increase student investment in content without overwhelming faculty members with additional paperload. If you are tired of tests or uneasy with traditional research essays, it might be time to try something different. Join our interdisciplinary panel of faculty will discuss creating assignments that meet different objectives: from low-stakes learning checks, to assessments that move students to the application of knowledge, to projects that encourage students to follow their curiosity.
Maggie participated in the 2020 Master Teacher’s Workshop. Here she learned about values and teaching methodologies of excellent teachers. She developed new collaborative relationships with fellow JCCC faculty. A theme of the workshop was the importance of establishing meaningful connections.
Maggie collaborated with faculty in the JCCC Nursing Department to develop a two-hour interactive presentation on Oral Health and the Elderly Client for second year nursing students. The students used plaque disclosing solution to identify areas of missed plaque biofilm. They then received small group hands-on instruction in effective toothbrushing techniques from second year dental hygiene students.
In collaboration with the dental hygiene faculty team, Maggie revised the Oral Health Assessment with Modified Plaque Index protocols, clinic procedures, and documentation.
Maggie presented to the JCCC Community as a presenter for the Noon at the Nerman. She discussed two winter landscapes by Kansan painter Robert Sudlow.
