Veteran and active-duty students come from all walks of life and each individual brings their own unique contributions, goals, hopes, and challenges. Their life experience provides valuable perspectives in the classroom. Here are suggestions and resources for best supporting LCSC’s veteran and active-duty students.
Group work in a military setting often involves life or death situations. Thus, group work in the classroom may be challenging. Consider alternative assignments if veteran or active-duty student requests it or if you observe discomfort.
Planning, organizing and teaching about group work can help students work together productively.
Some classrooms have door and/or window placement that can exacerbate vigilance. Letting students select their own seats alleviates this anxiety.
Some veteran or active-duty students may express frustration with their student peers because they are not paying attention or following other class expectations. There are a few ways to address this issue.
