How Adults LearnInitial Training
1) No one will be called on. You are encouraged to contribute, but it is your choice.
2) We will all strive to make sure everyone feels included and has an opportunity to speak.
3) We will start on time, end on time and come back from breaks on time.
4) We will seek to encourage each other, to give support and praise for contributions and to ask questions.
5) We will have partnering interactions. We all agree to come back to the group when the signal is given.

Adult Learning Principles
Adult learners want to be respected for who they are, where they’ve been, and what they
already know.
What you can do:• Be prepared• Know your subject• Listen to what they say
Respect
In addition to physical safety, learners will respond better to new learning activities if
they feel emotionally safe to fully participate, to speak out, to take risks if needed.
What you can do:• Share ground rules at beginning (“I won’t call
on you”)• Affirm responses (“Thank you for sharing”)• Reveal your own errors
Safety
Your learners want to know: Do you care about me? Can you help me? AND, can I trust you?
What you can do:• Do what you say you will do• Don’t do what you said you wouldn’t do (call on
them)• Keep confidences• Show up (be there when you say you will)

they know Bring more “PULL” to the lesson Encourage THINKING which increases
