520 |a The adult learner is often defined by age (25 years or older) as an easy way to distinguish this group from students who head to college straight out of high school. But age is insufficient as a defining factor. The growing popularity of other terms like nontraditional student--and more recently, terms like post-traditional student or today's student--indicate that who we are talking about is any student not enrolled full time, not coming straight from high school, and/or not free of dependents or financial obligations. Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) developed the Adult Learner 360 to provide institutions with a method to assess the perceived quality and effectiveness of an institution's programs, services, and policies for adult learners. The purpose of the Adult Learner 360, as it was with the ALFI Toolkit, is to provide data that can guide an institution's decisions about where to focus improvement efforts. This report examines the experiences of three institutions that used data to guide their decisions on building programs and services for their current and prospective adult students. Atlanta Metropolitan State College, Northwestern State University in Louisiana, and Shasta College in California all developed new approaches for their adult students by learning from the results of the Adult Learner 360, data tools designed by and offered through CAEL. The questions in the Adult Learner 360, also based on CAEL's Ten Principles for Effectively Serving Adults, provide a framework for institutions to develop programs and policies that help adults reach their educational goals.
