I love how the GI Bill was defined as a readjustment for the military vet to the civilian life and a way to have their own Mission moving forward. I had never thought of it that way. I also liked the reminder that while the degree or certification students earn may give them the opportunity to APPLY for a job, the ones who have the SOFT skills, such as communication, positive attitude, organization, teamwork, punctuality, critical thinking and social skills, will get HIRED and be SUCCESSFUL in the new role/job/career.
I can set expectations in the classroom for Respect, Tolerance, Critical/analytical thinking/creative problem-solving skills to help them achieve these soft skills as they work with their classmates on projects/discussions/hand-on work.
