Recenzii

This informative book serves as a valuable reference for understanding the unique needs and attributes associated with the military student. The book presents a structured framework that may serve as a guideline to understanding military identify and its impact on the learning experience. . . This text also provides insight into the values, beliefs, and attitudes associated with military culture and their impacts on traditional classroom and distance learning environments. Bricker presents logical and practical steps to best integrate, motivate and engage current military members and veterans in the classroom. . . . For the professional instructor, teacher, or curriculum designer, this book serves as a good introduction, if not a foundation, for better understanding the general needs of the military learner.
Members of the military are often the most motivated students and bring leadership qualities and life experiences that are invaluable to the classroom. Suzane Bricker's excellent and insightful handbook provides a window into military culture and practical steps to help instructors integrate active-duty service members and veterans into the classroom, address their unique challenges, and support them in reaching their full academic potential.
The Military Writers Society of America supports this project 100 percent and recommends this book to all undergraduate and graduate instructors. Suzane Bricker has successfully opened a channel of communication that can lead to better academic success for individuals who have served, and continue to serve our country with honor. Her guidebook combines the opinions of influential and concerned veteran advocates with insights from leading academic scholars. She is to be commended for her research into previously uncharted territory.
Having veterans in my classes is a privilege, a challenge, and, most of all, a responsibility. I have had to create my own training. I am thrilled to see, at last, such a thorough book to help all teachers and professors in this essential duty.
There are clear differences between traditional students and those who have spent time in the military. Suzane Bricker's handbook does an excellent job of highlighting these differences. Her book clearly informs the educator on how to have an impact on military learners.
