ADULT EDUCATION

TIE Newsletter ~ Issue 4 ~ Spring 2009
Written By: Kathy Russell

Educating adults differs from educating children in several ways. One difference is adults have accumulated knowledge and experience that can add to or hinder the learning experience. Another difference is with most adults, education is voluntary; as a result students can be more motivated.

WHY GO BACK TO SCHOOL?

· Your diploma will help you get a better job or promotion.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH?

· Choose the right option, your journey will be more efficient and economical. Know what’s involved in getting what you want.

IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME OF YOUR LIFE? DO YOU HAVE TIME TO GO TO CLASS, READ, AND STUDY?

· Manage your stressors to have time to do your work, enjoy your family, and live life.

IS THE SCHOOL WITHIN REACH?

· Is the school available to you? Consider what you want to achieve, then find out the process.

DO YOU HAVE THE SUPPORT YOU NEED?

· Remember adults learn differently, you need people in your life who will be your cheerleaders or help with child care.

Finishing school will be up to you! You don’t have to do it alone!
