Capra Dalton R.N. - CEO, Pedagogy - About Us

The Pedagogy Philosophy

Pedagogy is the art and science of teaching, instruction and training. It is the goal of Pedagogy to offer the most current course content, at the highest possible quality, using a variety of education methods and strategies. Attainment of licensure and formal education is not the end of education. Professionals, both practitioners and educators, are responsible to continually develop their knowledge and skills. Through continuing education and self directed professional growth, health care providers are better prepared to deliver quality care to their patients.

Community colleges make push for state lawmakers to allow them to offer some four-year programs | MLive.com

Registered nurse Stephanie Palmer wants to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing, but she’d like to do it at Jackson Community College.

It’s close to her home and less expensive than a four-year college. Plus JCC offers greater scheduling flexibility for working parents like her, said Palmer, 35, of Michigan Center.

That can’t happen under current state law.

But officials from JCC and other community colleges on Friday lobbied state lawmakers to allow traditionally two-year colleges to offer a handful of four-year programs, saying it will help the state’s economy by making it easier for people to prepare for good, in-demand jobs. The House and Senate community colleges subcommittees was holding a joint session on JCC’s Summit Township campus.

The House last year passed legislation to allow community colleges to offer bachelor’s degree programs in four majors, including nursing. The legislation stalled in the Senate. It is expected to be considered again this year.

This would work nicely with the push for more BSN prepared nurses.

Lifetime Earnings Soar with Education – How a Higher Education Leads to Higher Lifetime Earnings

How much is higher education worth in cold hard money? A college master's degree is worth $1.3 million more in lifetime earnings than a high school diploma, according to a recent report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The report titled "The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings" (.pdf) reveals that over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million.

Persons with doctoral degrees earn an average of $3.4 million during their working life, while those with professional degrees do best at $4.4 million.

"At most ages, more education equates with higher earnings, and the payoff is most notable at the highest educational levels," said Jennifer Cheeseman Day, co-author of the report.

Jonas Center Quantifies Impact of Nursing Faculty Shortage | All Sites Nursing News

The shortage of nurse educators could affect the care of millions of patients, according to estimates by the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence.

Each nurse educator position left unfilled could impact healthcare for 3.6 million patients, according to the report. Schools with baccalaureate nursing programs have about 900 faculty vacancies, with thousands more likely to arise in the next 15 years.

Darlene Curley, RN, MS, executive director of the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, and Christine Kovner, RN, PhD, FAAN, professor at New York University College of Nursing, developed a formula to measure the impact of nursing faculty vacancies on patients. They considered the average number of students taught by one faculty member and the number of patients cared for by a typical RN. They note that their estimates are conservative.
