Transformational Adult Education
- Monday 9:45AM–11:00AM Congressional Room 1
Adult learning is a hot topic in Jewish settings. What can we learn from the secular material about the new field of andragogy? This workshop covers why adult learners come, what they need to know, and how teaching them is vitally different than teaching kids.
