Students come to career schools with the intention of improving on existing skills and at the same time learn new ones. Sometimes as instructors we do not appreciate or realize the efforts that this adult learners are going through in order to move forward in their careers and life.
I am not advocating for a free ride, but we own them a fair chance at learning and reaching their goals. Occasionally, instructors have the tendency to overlook the obvious and not to take into consideration the effects of everyday life into the learning process.
Our methodology and teaching practices must comfort to the learning styles and life experiences of our students. we welcome people from all walks of life in our classrooms and sometimes set the standards too high for them to reach success.
