Five Pillars of the Standards

Connie, I agree with you. Showing what to expect when out in the real world, will give the students an idea of what they are in for. If they love to cook, but don't want to work long hours on their feet, then perhaps culinary is not for them. Kathie Dherit

Doing the Right Thing

Tricia , Disclosing all of that information up front lets prospective students know exactly what to expect, including what they will be doing in the field. It gives them a better understanding of what they will encounter, which will help in their decision. Kathie Dherit

Students' Personal Information

Tara, This is true. Also, there are times where you think you are just giving a simple example to a student or a prospective student where you may be divulging too much information or the example is too specific and that prospective student knows who you are talking about without you even giving a name. Generalizing the example is a good way to give your examples if needed. Kathie Dherit

Using Superlatives

David, Correct, and saying we have the latest and greatest equipment is difficult to say, when it is constantly changing. Although saying industry-modeled is more the norm, because we would typically have the same equipment found in the industry. Kathie Dherit
