Why are professional development and
continuing education important to you?
How can we expect others to be lifelong learners if we are not
ourselves? In the face of a fast-paced and ever-changing society,
we must always strive to improve and build upon the knowledge
and experiences we have acquired as well as increase our own
knowledge, abilities and best practices so that we may provide
current and relevant concepts to those we teach.
What's one thing you think career education
leaders can do to improve institutional
performance?
Understand our students better. We must actually get to know our
students, their perceptions and expectations so we can better align
the educational experience to enable our students to learn. is
can be accomplished by associating coursework with relevancy
in both personal and professional settings, empathizing with the
challenges students face (and helping them develop mitigation
strategies), and involving students in their education pathways.
