Best Practices-Self-Determination Student took CNA class 2 times First time, failed academic portion Second time, passed academic and failed clinical Third time, MATC did not want student in the class. Even after student got a job as an R.A. “Student is too weird” “They will never be a CNA”

Best Practices-Universal Design Some instructors have committed to a Universal Design method of teaching. For Example, instructors do not typically allow students to hand in late assignments, but they can create extra credit to make up points for the entire class.
