| Summary: | This Teaching Adult Learners Kit (TALKit) is an inservice "cafeteria" that offers many choices to the workshop planner/facilitator. The core of the kit is a series of structured workshop activities designed to help teachers build a teaching foundation--a working philosophy for adult education. Activities focus on three areas: the philosophy of teaching and learning, understanding adult learners, and effective teaching of adults. The workshop activities are all interactive, hands-on learning experiences. Introductory materials discuss the role of the facilitator and include a chart that describes each activity and areas of focus and annotated listing of videotape resources. Each of the 10 activities has some or all of these components: introduction, purpose, materials list, preparation, organization, time, numbers, followup, transparency masters, handouts, and supplementary materials. Activities are as follows: "drawing" conclusions about teaching adults; nothing personal, but...; speak out on learning; straight talk; TALK about adult learners; teachers make it work; thumbs up, thumbs down; when I teach I...; words of wisdom; and worth a thousand words. Followup options are included for teachers who want more information, a deeper experience, or resources to help them prepare a personal professional development plan. Appendixes include sample inservice programs and masters for producing a teacher journal. (YLB) |
