Abstract:
Adult education is a specialized field, unfamiliar to most educators. Between learning relevant content and understanding the principles of andragogy, ABE instructors can quickly become overwhelmed - leading to poor instruction and/or high turnover. Join us as we outline a comprehensive process, based upon research and our own experiences and observation, for successfully onboarding instructors into an adult basic education classroom using instructional support, online resources, and instructor mentoring.
