Overview
What you will study
Adult learners represent a wide range of diverse backgrounds, ages, lifestyles, races, abilities, religions, etc. Adapting the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively facilitate inclusion in adult education settings is becoming a required skill for all adult educators. Educators are being asked to re-examine our own assumptions--about our learners, our course content, our learning settings, and even ourselves. Our collective ability to respond to, and be enriched by, these challenges will determine the success of our adult education practice.

- discover what you really know and the source of that knowledge
- define terms related to diversity and inclusion
- identify ways to integrate diversity into your adult education practice
