Assoc Prof Tracey Levett-Jones
We congratulate Assoc. Prof. Tracy Levett-Jones for achieving the 2011 Pearson/ANTS Nursing Educator of the Year Award. Tracy impressed the selectors on her huge contribution to nursing education, including innovative teaching methods and a strong commitment to evidence-based practice through her extensive research involvement. A major contribution by Tracy was to nursing practice, for example, her development of a clinical reasoning framework based upon investigation of students’ engagement with simulated clinical learning and authoring a book to assist students to prepare for their clinical placements “The Clinical Placement: An Essential Guide for Nursing Studentsâ€. Through Tracy’s work she was able to close the theory-practice gap by focusing on work that had strong links to nursing practice.
