Adult Education Teacher and Student
Course begins November 7, 2005
Cost - $149/person
Facilitator: Debra L. Hargrove, AE Pro Developer

How Do We Teach Adults? Research investigating adults as learners concludes 
that adults learn differently than children. If that premise is true, then 
why do we so often teach them both in the same way? In truth, many 
practitioners come to adult education with little or no background in 
"adults as learners." Through this online course, you will look at "who is 
the adult learner" by looking at background statistics on "who takes the 
GED", learning disabilities in adults, and what brain research says about 
how adult learners learn best. Online activities, discussion boards and 
assessments will keep you engaged.
