Synopsis:
Professional development is important, but early childhood professionals get just as bored, worn out, and disengaged from learning as their younger counterparts do. But while pre-K and K-12 classroom learning continues to evolve and improve, adult learners are often left by the wayside! There must be a better way.
Lose the Lecture brings administrators, coaches, and facilitators a new approach to professional development and adult learning that focuses on the learners--how they think, what they need, and what motivates them to grow. Learn how to:- Teach adult learners in the ways they learn best
- Facilitate meaningful group learning
- Engage participants in honest communication and reflection This book features tips, tools, and strategies to help you turn professional learning from a dreaded requirement to a meaningful opportunity. The best part? There's no slide deck!
