Facilitating Learning with the Adult Brain in Mind Paperback – January 1, 2016

This book allowed me the knowledge to navigate challenging situations and people while understanding what was causing their progression delays.

Anyone who is student facing with adult learners, this book is a must read and valuable resource to keep handy as a continual reference. We forget that anxiety is a real issue for learning no matter what age the pupil is. This book holds some great insights and strategies for getting our students to move through those transition phases from fear to engagement.

Excellent resource for staff developers or facilitators who work with adults. Arrived on time and in great shape.

As expected.

Excellent condition!

I've been bringing this book to my classes in the education department at UC Berkeley Extension and pointing out that some of the teaching strategies I'm teaching my students are in the book. I have the book listed on my suggested reading list too. What I like is that the book has real world examples from different teachers....most books focus on one teacher. These examples provide enough detail that one could use it as an example in their own classroom. The examples are written in such a way that you can also use them to reflect on as part of your own teaching strategy. I also appreciate that the book is categorized by theory and practice - I'm a big fan of practical (must be the applied math degree part of me) but I also think it is important to back up a good practice with the theory and data that supports using a specific teaching method.

Back in the 1970s I was director of experiential learning at the institute of research at the University of Alabama " I thought that the old Chinese proverb said it so well..". I hear and I forget..I see and Remember..I do and Understand. " I had listed 32 observation that tend to support experiential learning. And Garry Shirts another pioneer in the development of experiential learning listed 12 hunches about Simulations games as educational tools. But science calls this anecdotal evidence. (doesn't prove anything) Except the fact that results showed over and over that it WORKED. Now 40 years later this well written, informative book presents conclusive evidence that confirms what us early pioneers believed. Experience is the best teacherWhat a pleasure I get from reading this book

I have been anticipating the release of this book. From page 1 and on, I am not disappointed.The book is packed with information and contains valuable insight from practitioners. As a professor I am drawn to the chapter endings that give a "Pause for Reflection" that allows me to make connections to my own practice. Throughout the book I was impressed to see "Key Ideas' and "Further Reading" sections that are wonderful lists of information.I know I will use this book as a resource and I anticipate bringing it into graduate level courses in adult education that I teach.
