The workshop was facilitated by Sara Weaver, SMW, MBA, the CNIH school counselor. The learning objectives were to increase instructor awareness of the power of relationships on the learning experience, open dialogue about the student-instructor relations with the goal of continuous improvement and to empower all members of the CNIH team. The faculty participated in discussions and brainstorming activities related to facilitating the learning of adult learners. It was noted that the quality of the relationship between student and instructor is one of the top three important contributors to a successful learning environment
