As some of you may know, I recently spent an enriching two weeks meeting with ESOL teachers in Peru and Ecuador. We discussed how our knowledge about the brain can inform our approaches to both teaching and learning.  As always, hearing about the challenges and successes of my fellow teachers has invigorated my thinking about the learning brain and pedagogical strategy.

See my trip agenda and some photos from the sessions below!

Recently I attended an excellent Colorado Adult Education conference (CAEPA) in Colorado Springs. There I learned two compelling facts in a session led by Frank Waterous of the Bell Policy Center. 

 

FACT 1

By 2025, 2/3 of all jobs in the U.S. will require some level of post-secondary education or career /technical skills training. 

 

Fact 2F

2/3 of all people who will be in our workforce in 2025 are already working age adults today. 

 

What does this mean?

It means that adult education is essential now, and the demand for adult education will only increase in the next 12 years.
