The U.S. Department of Education recently proposed a series of revisions to the regulations governing both current and graduated students of higher education institutions.                                                                      

The American Association of Cosmetology Schools supports these revisions and is requesting your assistance to provide comments to make these proposed regulations official. 

AACS has developed template letters highlighting key benefits for students, employers, school owners and their staff.  We would like your assistance in submitting these comments to the Department. The AACS national office is requesting that each school owner work with their team to submit as many letters as possible by the August 30th deadline. Instructions and templates organized by category can be found here.

As students from different generations are enrolling in colleges today, instructors are presented with the challenge of how to engage, instruct and relate to these multigenerational learners.

ED135 -  Teaching Multigenerational Learners gives profiles of different generational learners and how they engage in the learning process. Content is shared on how to relate to learners of the different generations and how to use students’ life experiences as learning opportunities. As technology is an essential part of instructional delivery, strategies are given for building on the abilities of multigenerational students to use social networks, portable media (given the parameters of school policy), and personal interaction. In addition, instructors are given methods that can be used to help students develop the critical thinking and interpersonal skills needed for career success.
