They know exactly what they are supposed to do and how to do it. If there are many questions about procedures or expected outcomes of an assignment, the teacher must realize that further clarification is required. This is a process in which to engage the students, possibly through whole-class or peer group discussions.

Student engagement can be difficult to quantify, but the teacher has ample anecdotal evidence that demonstrates whether or not students participate actively. Students with bright eyes, raised hands, and lots to say show the teacher they are excited about learning. This is a powerful measure of success of the unit plan.

These institutions are sometimes called "community colleges" after the American institutions that are similar.

Other institutions that offer further education courses may offer a variety of work-based learning classes while campuses

Education today has become more interesting and challenging than it has ever been before. This is particularly the case with the teaching and learning of English as a second language. Immigrants to the United States and other English speaking countries, for example, are faced with the challenge of not only learning a new language sufficiently to be able to communicate in their new environment, but also of fitting in with

The program uses good planning models to develop and create the program, and the planners are aware of the program's intended audience, purpose, and topics. However, there are some weaknesses to the idea, too. They need to develop comprehensive training that is both affordable and retrains workers for new jobs, so they need to identify the top employment needs of different employers, and design curriculum to meet those needs.
