Rachel Simmons prides herself on being able to recruit top nurses to her hospital. The 47 year old nurse recruiter had great rapport with candidates because of her 10 years of experience as a pediatric nurse. She understood the stress, responsibilities, and rewards inherent in the nursing profession. In short, she could convince her candidates that the hospital would be a great place for them to work.
The hospital’s problem was that the nurses Rachel hired rarely remained with the large, acute care facility for more than a year, and in some cases,

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently”
-Henry Ford-
I am a firm believer that failure is an important part of any learning cycle. In the case of English as a Second Language, many capable non-native English speakers become withdrawn, shy and even scared when faced with the prospect of having to converse with non-native English speakers. This is simply because many language learners are afraid to dare. They worry constantly about not meeting expectations, making a mistake, or failing while trying something new. In that vein, were they to adhere to Ford’s advice and take the plunge;…

Why Vocational and Career Education Are Important
There are three major reasons why every school district should offer strong vocational learning opportunities:
1. Vocational competence is critical to the economic health of our nation.
2. A significant number of students, both college-bound and non-college-bound, are experiential learners who will learn academic skills best from developing them in a career or application context.
3. Delaying the career or application context until after grade 12 lowers motivation and learning achievement for many experiential learners.
Consider these characteristics of experiential learners:

2. They learn academic…
