The goal of the trainer does not always match the expectation of the

learner

The learning environment must be physically and psychologically

comfortable.

Adults view classroom situations as a risk. Self-esteem and egos are on the

line.

Adults have expectations, and it is critical to take time up front to clarify

everybody’s expectations.

Adults bring a lot of life experience into the classroom.

New knowledge has to be integrated with previous knowledge, and that means active learner participation.

The key to the instructor role is control.

Of everything that is happening in the training environment.

Integration of new knowledge and skill requires transition time and

focused effort.

Learning and teaching theories function better as a resource than as

practices that are cast in stone.
