Since 1979,
Platt College exists with one purpose; to create a workforce of professionals with the skills and training necessary to answer the needs of today's and tomorrow's workplace. With this in mind, our Instructors strive to be the best at preparing their students for the workplace. During the holiday break the instructors participated in a workshop conducted by our Remedial Specialist, Etta Godwin. Etta has been in education for more than 40 years and thankfully loves to share her vast knowledge with others. Etta shared characteristics of adult learners, specifically Platt students. They covered learning styles and the best teaching techniques for those learning styles.
They shared learning games to utilize in their classes and even played one.
( WOW...you should have heard them, and had you have been in the building you would have. Hooping and hollering like teenagers. Learning is fun...when you make it fun! And...who doesn't like having FUN!)
Lastly they talked about how to be sure that students are coming to class prepared so that the instructors can teach and students can learn.
Etta stated " it was a great experience for me and I am really impressed by our instructors and how much they really do care for their students".
Platt Central is ready for our students returning from their Holiday Break on Monday the 9th and the new faces that will be joining them. Bring on 2012!
