How many times as an instructor have you heard a student say, “BUT, we were taught…,”
or “Professor… said something different.”
For students to graduate with competence in oral hygiene practice, they need consistent teaching and feedback from their instructors. Well-calibrated faculty affords students the instructional and evaluative consistency they need to thrive and reduces learning discrepancies so they may advance to become confident, skilled dental hygiene professionals. However, calibration of faculty (full-time and adjunct) members can be difficult to accomplish owing to time restrictions, faculty schedules, and differences in professional viewpoints. This platform was designed with the intention of improving faculty calibration and serves as a place for colleagues to become more familiar with the instruction, verbiage, protocols, and practices commonly used in the Dental Hygiene clinic when teaching students. This faculty calibration webpage aims to:
Improve uniformity of student instruction and feedback
Improve the fairness and openness of evaluating methodologies
Increase the consistency and success of student learning

This site will be used in Spring for DEN1200, both seminar and clinic. Announcements, course documents, and lectures will be posted here.
The site is currently under construction. Therefore, I will add more course information periodically, and some information may change.

DEN 1217 is a 2-credit course that fulfills the competency requirements for periodontics in an associate degree program. This course will provide a foundation for the prevention and management of periodontal diseases within the scope of the dental hygienist practice act. An emphasis on these topics will include but not be limited to assessment, etiology, pathology, histopathology, and role of inflammation in periodontal disease, as well as periodontal assessment and classifications of periodontal diseases. The goals of this course will be the application of theory to the clinical setting, treatment modalities, and therapeutic and preventive periodontics in the contemporary dental hygiene practice setting.
