Teaching and Learning Styles

As teachers, I think we must keep our subjects interested. I teach at a culinary school, however the students have to learn more than just how to cook. They have chosen this path to become leaders in the kitchen, but sometimes forget they have to learn about other aspects of the business. For example, to make money in the restaurant you need to know basic algebra. I just try to put things in a different perspective, not x's or y's, more like "apples and oranges."

Hi Ann, Yes, sometimes students are more excited about the "idea" of their career choice than the reality of what it entails! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Our veterinary technology students often forget that there is more to medicine than cuddling the animals. A mis-calculation on drug dosage can harm an animal, and not restraining correctly could harm your classmate :)

Hi Benigno, Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, we need to arm our students with the skills they need to lead! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. susan
