Engaging Students
Mixing generations in groups to learn and help each other see differnet views can be a life learning lessons.
I have such a diverse student population that I am always amazed at how much they learn through their interactions. The diversity in the classroom assists them in understanding their patients to include beliefs and values. As each of my students will go on to educate their patients, they too need to learn how to respect and value differences in others.
