EAD 507 Instructional Strategies for Adult Learners

Instructional Strategies for Adult Learners provides a substantial grounding in the skills and abilities associated with effective teaching or training in adult contexts. By examining current approaches and best practices, students build their skills and emerge with a “tool kit” of strategies to facilitate learning in a variety of settings and with diverse groups of learners.  Educators working with adult students in educational or business settings also need a foundation in the legal and ethical dimensions that will inform their practice such as including students with disabilities, universal design, sexual harassment, and workplace or campus violence.
