Jump Start the Adult Learner: How to Engage and Motivate Adults Using Brain- Compatible Strategies

Many teachers have been using brain-compatible learning strategies with their students for years. But can these same strategies be used with adult learners? Laurie Materna provides the answer to this question in Jump Start the Adult Learner: How to Engage and Motivate Adults Using Brain-Compatible Strategies. Combining brain-compatible learning strategies with adult education theory and research, Materna has successfully developed strategies to help adult learners become more interested, engaged, motivated, and self-directed in their own learning. These techniques also improve adult learners’ ability to recall, comprehend, and apply complex information. This dynamic and interactive approach shows adult educators how to use strategies in both informal and formal environments and is appropriate for staff developers, trainers, principals, teacher leaders, coaches & mentors, adult education instructors, and consultants.
