Prepare them for their future careers. Teach them soft and hard skills that help them succeed in the workplace and society.
I believe that the goal of educating students is is to prepare them with the appropriate skills, knowledge, and resources to enter their field able to act in a safe and professional manner.
This, of course, requires content and information as well as the "soft skills" of professional behavior and interpersonal interaction with clients / patients/ customers.
My goal of educating students is to be able to help them in all aspects of the field they are studying. Not just the book information, but how it relates to real life situations and foe to help them process information. Mainly, I like to keep myself available to all of my students at any time so that they feel they can ask me the information that they need from me. Each student is on a different level of learning some want more than can be taught in a session. These are the students that I will offer more research on a topic, if they wish to go and research it.
Hi Constance:
That's it exactly - we try to help students make more informed decisions in school, and ultimately try to impart the ability to do that in their lives as well.

Hi Mary:
To paraphrase something you wrote, we try to help students make more informed decisions in school. In addition, we may also try to help them make strong decisions in life as well.
Regards, Barry
Hi Rebecca:
This is a great way to think about the goal of education. Another thing we can think about is that we try to help our students become better decision makers in school, and in their lives as well.
Regards, Barry
Hi Gregory:
To reiterate, we teach our students to make the best decisions they can in both the work place, and perhaps even in their life.
Regards, Barry
Hi Kathryn:
That's a grat way to put it. I might also add that we are utlimately trying to help our students make more informed decisions on both the job, and in their lives.
Regards, Barry
Hi Frederick:
Additionally, we might also suggest that the goal is to help our students make more well-informed decisions in their education and life long pursuits.

the goals of educating students I think for any profession must start with the basics.for instance, as an automotive instructor students need to have a basic knowledge of what all the parts and pieces are so they can learn how they all work together.After that students can apply this aquired knowledge to the more advanced requirments of diagnosis and repair.
The goal of educating students is to prepare one for specific life experiences; depending, what major he/she is in. This preparing is completed by trying to reach all learning styles and behaviors. The goal is to prepare a student with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the field he/she is employed.
Hi Angela:
Additionally, we can help prepare students (in any environment) the value of thinking critically whic may help people make more effective choices in learning, and in life.
My goal for my students is to help them gain important critical thinking/problem solving skills to use in the workplace. These transferable skills may be difficult to learn at the beginning but I find that once the students solve one problem and have their 'aha' moment then the learning curve becomes exponential.
Hi Crystal:
These are great points. I think many would agree that a great overall goal would be to help our students become more savvy at making critical thinking decisions.
To echo your sentiments, I might also add that a great goal would be to help students learn the most efficient way of learning things altogether, and by giving them that power, you've given them the tools to efficiently learn forever.

The goal is to turn out students that have learned and can apply what they have learned to everyday life making a happier and more productive person in society.
The goal for educating students is to provide the training and instruction that a student can build on as they increase in experience in their fields.
To prepare them for a better life in the career they choose.
Simply put this means I am to teach and they are to learn. That's the bottom line. If both do not occur then I have not done my job correctly. Learning means that the students will be able to take what I teach them and apply it in a productive way in the real world.

I believe the goal of educating students should be to ensure they learn and comprehend the course, not just to get them to pass.
