A growing dichotomy exists in the academy when it comes to adult learners--between those who recognize the dynamism of this student population and those who don't--with strong convictions expressed on either side. There is a compelling need to improve programs and compare them with benchmarks, while still maintaining the fast-paced competition for adult learners.

A growing dichotomy exists in the academy when it comes to adult learners--between those who recognize the dynamism of this student population and those who don't--with strong convictions expressed on either side. There is a compelling need to improve programs and compare them with benchmarks, while still maintaining the fast-paced competition for adult learners. These factors have helped bring greater attention to the crucial need to identify best practices in adult learning programs--especially as the stakes among competitors continue to rise. Best Practices in Adult Learning is written for everyday practitioners: faculty and administrators already committed to adult learners but looking for greater details on how to bring their programs to a new level. This book provides focused, hands-on guidance and applications on how to implement principles of best practices in an adult learner-focused unit or institution. THIS BOOK IS ORGANIZED INTO FIVE PARTS: * Part I addresses the fundamental aspects of any program and is devoted to issues that relate to institutional vision. Each chapter is intended to answer the question, "What do I want my program to contain or deliver?" * Part II provides a hands-on set of applications that are designed to strengthen daily practices and options. * Part III underscores the importance of faculty development to the health and vitality of successful adult programs. * Part IV presents straightforward, diverse, and immediate technological applications for adult learning programs. * Part V recognizes the increasing importance of senior learners--the fastest growing demographic in America today.
