Building Capacity of Adult Learners    3 s.h

Catalog description

Learning is an extended, intricate, and lifelong process. Adult learners have a unique way of learning, one that varies from learning done in primary grades. As such, teacher leaders will need to have strong command of adult learning principles to effectively collaborate with others and assist adults in their own professional development. A study of current theories and research in the areas of social cognition, human development, interpersonal relationships, group processes, and motivation will assist candidates in meeting the needs of the adults they will work with. This course will be particularly helpful to those who mentor, lead professional development sessions, serve on building or district leadership teams, and participate in professional learning communities.
