Developing an Adult Education Program

– The general requirement for the paper:

Assignment Option (2) Developing an Adult Education Program

This assignment asks you to develop a program to help adults learn in a setting of your choice. This setting can be real or imagined, formal or informal, long or short, large or small. The program can be something as specific as one particular class meeting, or as broad as a national literacy campaign. It can take place in any format – independent study, group instruction, via the internet, through distance education, and so on. It can be in a formal educational setting (school, college etc.), a formal non-educational setting (prison, government agency etc.), an informal educational setting (e.g., a living room, self-help support or study group) or an informal non-educational setting (e.g. a social action movement).

Develop a program plan designed to help adults learn. The plan should include the following:

1. A description of the clientele for this program – the adult learners’ backgrounds, expectations and learning styles.

2. A statement of the purposes, aims or objectives for the program.

3. A description of the philosophical rationale for practice underpinning your development and organization of the program – the organizing ideas about adult learning that inform how the program works.

4. A description of the needs assessment procedures you will use.

5. A mission statement for the program

6. A description of the pedagogic approaches, curriculum development, teaching materials and formats for evaluating student learning you will use in the program.

7. A description of the evaluative criteria, indicators and formats you will use to judge the effectiveness and success of the program.
