About me

Hi,

I'm always looking for new ideas in assisting my students in acedemic areas but especially in helping make the courses they need in college, FUN! Also, some students need extra encouragement to believe in themselves and that they can succeed.

Forty Million Jobs Needed

An excellent point was made regarding busineses/industries initiating 2-3 year "apprenticeships" for those graduating from college.

Apprenticeships in the industrial complexes of our country have disappeared, especially over the last 20 years. Young men and women need not only higher learning through degrees but still need the "hands-on" experience which is so very important. roviding apprenticeship programs where companies hire and have new employees work with eperienced employees that can provide the hands-on training is one way to tackle the unemployment situation and, I believe, would provide a positve impact in helping the economy and college graduates.

Background checks....

Isn't there a bill that prohibits certain individuals that have been found guilty of certain crimes from entering into some educational programs?

Employees with severe personal problems....

Some employees may resent a manager coming to them and notifying the employee that the employee needs to attend a class on "How to manage personal problems". If the manager would like to do this, why not PRIVATELY suggest this option to the employee to see if employee would want to consider it.

When you behave ethically, you are teaching your students...

I found that when I behave ethically, most students will be "learning" by observing how I handle situations in an ethical way. They learn be observation and actions taken by an instructor. The "do as I say" doesn't teach ethical behavior. Students learn by example and they learn from their instructors, counselors, and other they come into contact with. They are watching even when not in the formal atmosphere of the classroom.
