Session description

As teachers, we differentiate instruction for our students. As coaches, do we do the same for educators? Adults have different needs and expectations for learning. Throw in age and experience and the dynamics change even more! Let's dive into andragogy and discuss strategies for success when coaching different generations.

Purpose & objective

Participants will understand what the research says about how adults like to learn.
Participants will leave with strategies for creating teacher professional development based on adult learning theory.
Participants will understand the characteristics of the four generations working in schools.
Participants will be able to recognize how these generational characteristics can affect relationships and will develop strategies for communication and professional development to reach all educators.
