I know how important it is to connect my content to my students' lives, experiences, and careers, and I am extremely pleased with the ways in which my career college's curriculum aligns with my students' needs and goals. I teach English Composition in a culinary arts school, and our texts and assignments are all about culinary arts, nutrition, and career goals and needs. Still, I occasionally have students who do not see the connection between what we are teaching and what they will need in their future careers. How can I help then make these connections?
