Our goal is to provide our students with the skills and knowledgethey require to safely and accurately accomplish their jobs to high standards of quality in a costeffective manner. Central to providing effective instruction is knowing something about howpeople learn. The more we know about the learning process the more effective we can be indesigning and delivering appropriate instruction. A one-size-fits-all
