ISBN: 0787901350 ISBN-13: 9780787901356 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons OUR PRICE: $38.00 Product Type: Hardcover Published: September 1995 Annotation: In her well-received 1994 book, Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach, Jane Vella showed how adult education could be structured around adult learners' needs. Now, building on that work, Vella offers a lively, step-by-step approach to training those who train others to teach adults, showing trainers how to cultivate an entirely new set of skills for interacting with learners. Through numerous examples in a variety of settings, Vella illustrates the effectiveness of her train-the-trainer program: in Chile with community health educators, in rural Arkansas with small business developers, in rural Vermont with trainers from diverse nonprofit organizations, in Syracuse, New York, with literacy professionals, in a southern U.S. veterans hospital with professionals teaching about substance abuse, and in Haiti with community AIDS educators. Each chapter ends with a summary that invites critique and suggestions and presents indicators of changed behavior from individuals who took part in that particular program. |
