Adults Can't Learn???

Agelesslearner.com posted an interesting article that among other things stated, "Western society once believed adults didn't learn. Even today, if you ask a group why adults cannot learn, it may surprise you how many begin answering the question without challenging the premise. Unfortunately, many adults deny themselves what should be one of the most enriching parts of life because they assume they can't learn."

If this is the case then the adults who attend our classes have overcome a major hurdle and it is our pleasure to keep encouraging the learning. How do we do this? There are many different ways.

Giving them the learning in small bites; not trying to cram too much into a single class; adapting the class to the adults present.

Do you have ways you make this happen? Please share them with us. Make a comment below.
