The goal of educating students is to prepare students to be active and knowledge in their career field as well as their community.
To prepare them for the workforce
Hi Heather:
Good poits. I think one foundational component is assuring we meet the course goals and objectives, and student learning outcomes. If these have been well written, we will have provided the student with the fundamental information to carry on to subsequent classes and their chosen career fields.

The goal of my educating students is to teach them relevant information and skills that they can utilize as life-long learners in their careers and schooling.
The goal of educating students it to prepare them for real world situations where we must use the knowledge and skills gained during our education to solve problems, make improvements etc. We want to help prepare them for their career where they can take the knowledge and skills and continually add through their experiences.
Hi Cynthia:
All students come with different perspective, past life and job experiences, and particular frame of reference based on cultural, ethnic, family, and educational training. Bringing the class to a common level of expertise along with an understanding of what's required should be among the focus a teacher brings to the class.

Hi Cynthia:
Goal implies outcome, and an important outcome is job readiness through academic preparation, professionalism, soft skills (work courtesies), and skills to get and keep a job related to the training field.
Regards, Barry
This is correct especially since we use relative information and share different experiences
To give them the knowledge and skills to perfom a new goal
Hi Robin:
I think it's important the course objectives and student learning outcomes are met. If skills are involved, repeated practice contributes to mastery. Relating supplemental material to the work setting compliments and reinforces the work skills and knowledge the student is being trained for. Together, these create a good starting point.

Hi Kathleen:
All you describe to get a student job ready pretty much summarizes the taining aspect of the goals. You mention the professional work behaviors, which are very important. They arn't covered specifically in many programs and more students are arriving in school with little to no background on the work courtesies and best practices that ultimate contribute to keeping a worker employed. Thanks!

In the technical/vocational institutes, it is to prepare students for the work place; this includes the skills and underlying theory and components to execute the tasks of a career field, professional work behaviors, critical reasoning to solve problems on the job, the ability to work in groups, all spiced with personal accountability. More of our work comes from issues that are not specific in the curriculum.
I always remind each student that they are next expected to jump right in after discussing briefly the subject at hand, and being able to complete the skill set. Everything takes practice to fine tune their skills.
Hi Betty:
For me, assuring the course objectives, student learning objectives, and skill check-offs are met with as close to mastery as possible. These days, so much is compacted into tighter time periods, I think a lost "art" is the benefit of repetition Ookay, practice). Whatever the term, I think as often as possible, students should be given opportnity to demonstrate and repeat demonstration of all essential skills. Repetition builds performance mastery. This is also helpful for recall oriented facts.

Hi Ron:
For me, a part of the goal includes providing sound academic foundation along with skills that enable successful work readiness. This includes aspects of professionalsim and soft skils (worker courtesies) that contribute to positive worker successfulness.

Hi Sara:
Lofty goals, but accurate in many cases. Getting students job ready is more than book knowledge. It requires creating a learning environment that prepares a student with skills, knowledge, interpersonal behavior, and professionalism that are key to getting and keeping a job.
I think if a teacher can relate to each of their students individually, in a way like a parent does to their different kids, we'll help them fine tune their natural attributes into behavior that is aligned with success on the job.
Regards, Barry
Hi Kelly:
For me, providing a way to get from point A to point B, which job ready is part of that goal. It includes soft skills of professionalism and behavior, technical knowledge and professional skills. Determining the best way to achieve that is the challenge for the teacher.

In a career college, students must posess the skills necessary to obtain and maintain the job they desire. Not only should instructors educate students on how to perform specific skills, but also teach students professionalism. The goal of education is also to motivate students to want to learn and to continue learning throughout their careers.
The goal of educating students is to take people to the next level to create a more productive, self-sufficiant country. A student comes to a career college with the desire to learn a career or trade. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to provide them with the tools to be successful. If they can succeed in class, externship, and then are hired, I have met my goal as an instructor.
