Successfully Teaching Adults

13th Nov 2023

We were very lucky to have Jennifer Leahy supported by Tai from ACE Aotearoa (Adult and Community Education) come to Kaikōura to deliver a one day workshop on Successfully Teaching Adults. The course aims were for participants to:

• understand key ideas about teaching adults
• include a range of adult teaching skills in their course selections
• create adult teaching sessions that appeal to all learners
• improve teaching practices resulting in an improvement in ACE learner outcomes

This opportunity was intended to inspire and upskill people who work with adults in our community - and it certainly did! Jennifer and Tai provided a professional presentation with genuine connection and humour. Interweaving the skills and tips throughout the day, participants did a little theory learning, a little acting, a little competing and gained a lot of really usable knowledge. 

If you get the chance to attend one of these workshops in the future, we highly recommend taking up the opportunity!
