"Beyond the Program" goes beyond the curriculum of adult education programs. It delves into the wider context that shapes how adults learn. The book explores the social, cultural, and personal factors that influence adult learners' experiences. It acknowledges that adults bring a wealth of life experiences to the classroom, and explores how educators can leverage these experiences to create a richer learning environment. You'll discover how to design programs that consider the realities of adult lives, like work schedules and family commitments, to maximize engagement and success.
