Mind Set
I find is that most Instructors that I work with have most if not all of the Traits mentioned in "All Shapes and Sizes" which brings about a well rounded Instructor, but what I see with each new class I recieve is that we need to focus more on the connection betwen you, your students, and the field instead of just class content and move the students beyond there grade to this is "My Career" so the student can and will be better adjusted in their knowledge and skills for there new careers.
Hi Billy:
Yes, in vocational programs, really, all paths should lead to skill, proficiency and expertise in the students chosen profession.
I think good instructors try to keep this idea in mind by using work related examples in otherwise general knowldege areas of study.
It does take individuals who are well versed in their profession to bring together all the parts and make the course job or work ready.
