The focus of this portion of our guide is on topics related to education and instruction, as well as teaching, learning, and training, in Ludington, Michigan.
Education and instruction are often used interchangeably, but there are differences between the two. While elements of instruction are generally part of education, the former doesn't go as far as the latter. Teaching involves explaining how something is done, while instruction is telling how something is done. Although they often go hand-in-hand, teaching is more complex, and involves various techniques, strategies, and approaches, while instruction involves giving direction. The instructor tells the student what to do and how to do it.
For the most part, this category will include online resources for schools and other educational or instructional programs in Ludington. I don't believe Ludington has any colleges or universities within the city, although West Shore Community College is nearby. However, the city does include several elementary schools, public and private, as well as a middle school and a high school.
Specialized instructional programs, such as the Ludington Youth Sailing School, would also be appropriate here, as would any driver training programs, art schools, or vocational training programs within the city.
