  1. Create an atmosphere that encourages interaction, engage students early.
  2. Use past adult learner success to encourage program use.
  1. Stimulate interest with images and visuals.  Use to reinforce throughout the lesson.
  2. Adult learners should be placed in situations where they can be successful in front of their peers, so choose carefully.
 Both tools encourage adult learner involvement in the lesson as active learners.  They are partners in the learning which serves to achieve the learning goal.
  • to encourage the adult learners to reflect on their learning progress and achievement
  1. Presentation leader directed questioning.
  2. Visual monitoring of adult learner progress through the training.
  1. Questioning should occur throughout the lesson as the teacher moves to the more complex concepts.
  2. Leader will provide positive feedback and encouragement.
 The teacher must have a solid questioning strategy to maintain adult learner interest in the lesson.  It is also helpful if teachers know that they will be receiving more training in the future and the level of expectation from the adimistration.
  • to determine adult learner progress and achievement
  1. Presenter will monitor adult learner responses to questions.
  2. End of session review
  1. Presenter is contantly monitoring throughout the lesson.
  2. Adult learners will complete all steps of training without help from the presenter.
 As adult learners complete all logon and use steps, the presenter will be providing positive feedback in the form of prizes.  This serves to create a relaxed atmosphere where teacher success is celebrated.
