  1. Adult Education Portland Oregon Metro TaxAide TTT December 2013 It’s always something

  2. During your training classes, you will not be able to impart everything that all of your students will need to know.

  3. How will we define a successful class? Or, another way to put it, what are the goals of each class?

  4. How you present the material to your students is, in many ways, just as important as what you present.

  5. NEWSFLASH! You will be training (wait for it...) ADULTS!

  6. And to make it really fun… Every adult is different from all other adults. What are some of those differences?

  7. 5 Principles of Adult Education • They want to know Why! • They have different learning styles • They want to experience what they are learning • “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” • They really like and often really need encouragement

  8. 10 important lessons for effective classroom presentations • Don’t talk at participants. Involve them. • Encourage positive group dynamics. Reform and move students into groups as needed. • Allow participants to discover data for themselves. • Ask participants to keep an action or idea list, and revisit it throughout the session. • Learning is directly proportionate to the amount of fun you have.

  9. 10 important lessons for effective classroom presentations (cont.) • Change the pace. Listening with retention only lasts about 20 minutes at a time. • Design your class so participants leave impressed with themselves and what they learned. • Allow adults learners to use their expertise by leaving time to share experiences. • Don’t offer material only one way. Recognize your participants will learn differently. • Teach the things you have a passion for! (Adapted from Robert W. Pike, ASTD handbook for workplace learning professionals, 2008.)

  10. Group Exercise

  11. “This is your challenge as a teacher of adults. Beyond teaching your subject, you have the opportunity to inspire confidence and passion in another human being. That kind of teaching changes lives.”

  12. I believe in you.
