Pedagogical Skills: Understanding diverse teaching methodologies and learning styles is essential. 3. Technology Integration: Proficiency in using educational technology and simulation tools enhances learning experiences. 4. Research and Scholarship: Encouraging faculty to engage in research activities to contribute to the nursing body of knowledge. 5.
