Just like me

At a vocational school the student is attending for a new career. He wants to be "just like me"; a career professional that has done the job that he wants for XX years.
Remember that your subject matter expertise is in the profession that you are teaching.

Tasha,

I agree! It is so important that we set a good example in and out of class for our students.

Students look up to their instructors and tend to mirror them. I think its important instructors lead by example because we set the standard for the students.

Teaching student to enter the industry you have just left I find is very rewarding and interjecting your teaching with positive personal experiences can be used as a motivator to keep students engaged and focused on their ultimate goal which is "working" in the industry.
