Help wanted

The one thing that made me think is what employees want from their workers is for them to be able to think on their own, do complex tasks, and work cooperatively.   I think this is something we need to think about in our classes. I know in physical science we make them work together in lab groups. They also must think on their own while doing the sludge test.  But still there some parts where we just want them to spit out the answers.  If the military can change the way they train the troops, I think we should also try to change as well.

  1. Agreed I have a lab template I dreamed up last week to run by you... I just can't turn it off...ha ha

    I think we can also branch out and get more concepts in with students thinking and being led to think that way.
