Elsevier’s powerful combination of Elsevier Adaptive Learning, Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing, and HESI Review & Testing is the only end-to-end solution for the LPN/LVN market. Together they offer adaptive and predictive tools designed to assess student readiness for licensure. Plus, all three include robust reporting and analytical resources that allow programs to make meaningful, informed decisions for improving student performance and pass rates.

Elsevier Adaptive LearningBased on trusted Elsevier content and available for many LPN/LVN titles, Elsevier Adaptive Learning (EAL) is a uniquely personalized and interactive tool that enables students to learn faster and remember longer.

• Allows students to acquire knowledge of foundational content in a fun, engaging way

Elsevier Adaptive QuizzingAvailable for various key titles, Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing (EAQ) helps students of all skill levels focus their study time and effectively prepare for class, course exams, and the NCLEX-PN® exam.

• Allows students to apply knowledge gained from the text and lectures in a friendly, formative format

• Enables students to prepare for course exams, lecture, and licensure

Ensuring that students are engaged in the classroom, prepared for the NCLEX-PN® exam, and ready for clinical practice takes time.

TEACH (Total Education And Curriculum Help), developed in partnership with nursing educators, makes it easier to implement Elsevier texts and eproducts into your curriculum.

TEACH is available for all of our core LPN/LVN texts, offering everything you need to make the most of time spent with students by creating a dynamic, effective course.

Top five challenges facing LPN/LVN educators across the country, and how TEACH can help.

Amount of time spent creating lesson plans that align with content

Regardless of which texts you use in your LPN/LVN program, it’s critical for student outcomes that lessons presented in the classroom align with the content students are reading in their textbooks.

With TEACH, you get:

• Ready-to-use lesson plans that are mapped to chapter objectives.

• One-stop classroom planning and preparation tools, including 50-minute lectures with accompanying PowerPoint® slides and notes, discussion questions and answers, classroom activities, and student homework assignments.

• Assessments mapped to lessons and objectives to aid you in test design.

Consistency of lesson plans/content across programs or campuses

For programs with multiple instructors and/or campuses, your reputation depends on instructional consistency across the LPN/LVN curriculum. TEACH’s all-in-one curriculum solution aligns with textbook content and is available to faculty members in any program or on any campus via our Evolve website.

Securing clinical space for LPN students As the number of nursing programs has grown, so has competition for clinical sites. The result has been a dramatic increase in the use of simulation products. Incorporating simulation into your lesson plans is made easier with TEACH.

Lesson plans for LPN/LVN core texts published in the last year now include SimChart® EHR assignments mapped directly to the content you present in the classroom.

Incorporating technology into the classroom

Both instructors and students have varying levels of comfort with technology, but the reality is that employers want graduates to be tech-savvy from day one on the job.

TEACH lesson plans for titles in Elsevier’s LPN/LVN Threads series make it easy to incorporate technology into your classroom with:

• Online learning activities • Audience response questions • Online assessments mapped to objectives • SimChart® EHR assignments • And much more!

Incorporating conceptual learning into lesson plans

Conceptual teaching and learning in nursing education is a very important and rapidly-emerging trend. A growing number of states are adopting this method of instruction,

and to help you make the transition, the majority of Elsevier’s LPN/LVN titles have been linked to Jean Giddens’ groundbreaking text, Concepts for Nursing Practice. This title presents the most common physiologic, behavioral, and professional nursing concepts that are core to nursing practice.

TEACH can help you seamlessly transition to this instructional method in a few ways:

• An LPN/LVN-level TEACH lesson plan with lecture outlines, PowerPoint slides, and classroom activities walks you through Giddens’ Concepts for Nursing Practice.

• eBook versions of many LPN/LVN texts are linked to

Giddens’ Concepts for Nursing Practice, so as you progress through the Giddens text, the concepts link to content in our LPN/LVN textbooks.

• Chapter Focus sections in TEACH LPN/LVN textbook lesson plans identify content that applies to specific concepts and exemplars presented in Giddens’ Concepts for Nursing Practice.

Easy LPN/LVN Simulation Solutions

According to research conducted by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the use of simulation for up to 50% of the clinical experience is an effective strategy for preparing pre-licensure students for

LOOK FOR HIGHLIGHTED THREADS TITLES ON THE LPN/LVN TEXTBOOK LISTING!

Elsevier LPN/LVN titles share many common features and design elements, called Threads, that make teaching and learning easier. Texts in the Threads series have a consistent design, a similar reading level (approximately 10th grade), and NCLEX® exam review sections in each chapter.

As students progress through your program and move on to new textbooks, they are already familiar with the Threads features and can immediately focus on learning.

CONSISTENT PEDAGOGY

Boxes

Icons

Q&A with Patricia WilliamsAuthor of Threads textbooks Basic Geriatric Nursing, 6th Edition, and deWit’s Fundamental Concepts and Skills for Nursing, 5th Edition.

In your opinion, what is the most useful pedagogical component of Threads series titles?

The critical thinking questions are among the most useful pedagogical components of the LPN Threads series.

These questions are designed to encourage the student to “stop and think” in an attempt to take their knowledge one step further into the realm of critical thinking. These questions are useful both in the classroom as well as in independent study situations.

How do you think students benefit from consistency of materials across a curriculum?

Students benefit from consistency of materials because it enables them to think conceptually and apply material from one course to another.

When materials are consistent, have similar concepts, and share the same writing level and style, students can read, comprehend, and grasp important concepts with fluidity and ease.

And what about instructors?

By creating a series of products that blend together in a similar style — conceptually and pedagogically — the ease with which the students grasp important concepts directly transfers to a more fluid learning environment in the classroom, ultimately making teaching easier on the instructor.

Instead of instructors having to review content over and over again, due to inconsistency in teaching materials, they can instead focus on applying the knowledge gained in more interactive and interesting ways.
