ADULT LEARNING 1: PRINCIPLES

Learning is a lifelong activity. Without realising it, adults continually learn throughout their lives in an informal way. However as the population ages, and the nature of jobs and work change, we need to address the perceived barriers faced by many adult learners in more formal situations. In this program we introduce the key principles of adult learning, including learning styles and some specific difficulties faced by older individuals. By understanding the barriers adult learners face, facilitators can help unlock potential advantages, decrease barriers to adult learning, and take advantage of the methods available to best engage and support adults in their on-going education.

ADULT LEARNING 2: STYLES

Learning is a part of life. We learn many different things in a variety of ways. For educators, it's all about finding the most effective learning styles for each individual to achieve success in the teaching environment. This program describes three main learning styles - visual, auditory and kinaesthetic - and the four personality types that all individuals display. It provides concrete examples of the main styles and encourages all educators to learn more about the composition of their classes. By making the effort to cater for different styles of individual adult learners and varying teaching techniques, teachers and students can experience successful learning outcomes.

ADULT LEARNING 3: INCLUSIVE PRACTICES

In the face of ever increasing levels of diversity, educators are grappling to create and maintain inclusive learning cultures and environments. As facilitators of learning we must develop awareness of, and respond to, the diversity of our learners. This program provides an essential introduction to inclusive learning by exploring strategies that promote diversity and support inclusion. We also discover how organisations can improve the workplace through encouraging a positive learning culture and adopting inclusive learning practices. Through implementing inclusive learning practices, educators and trainers can provide learning and assessment that embraces and encourages diversity in the learning environment.

EMPTY DESK, THE: IDENTIFYING AND ASSISTING AT - RISK STUDENTS

For many young people, the school environment is a place of learning, creating friendships, forging an identity and searching for a direction in life.

It introduces what 'student at risk' is, examines the causes of disengagement and provides strategies that educators can use in the classroom to build a strong teacher student relationship. Also featured are interviews with teachers from The Pavilion School, Melbourne.

E-LEARNING IN EDUCATION

In the past 20 years, there has been a massive revolution in information and communication technology (ICT). But in many classrooms, you could be forgiven for thinking this revolution never occurred. Not only do today's young people own multiple ICTs, they use them constantly in their day-to-day life. It's easy to regard the shift in use of technology as being something fundamentally new, but it's not. For many young people, staying in close and regular contact with their peer group is very important. Remember when you socialised for hours on the telephone? Today it's YouTube, MySpace and Facebook where young people build social networks and use ways that they feel most comfortable exchanging information. "Chalk and talk" might just still work, but it's hard work, and ignoring communication methods that can be much more effective for today's student only makes your job harder. This program opens up a discussion about e-learning: what it's good for, why we need it, and how we can encourage it in our schools. It looks at the revolution in youth communications, the implications of this on education, the meaning of multiliteracy and recent developments in e-learning from industry leaders.

INTEGRATING ICT IN THE CURRICULUM

The use of Information Communication Technology in schools is a major challenge. The task of successfully integrating ICT into the curriculum raises a number of questions. What is the role of this new tool? Does it actually enhance the educational process? How can ICT be successfully integrated into what schools are currently doing? Is ICT the change-agent that will take schools into a whole new way of learning? How do students feel about ICT? Is it just a gimmick? Does it actually engage all students, or does it turn some of them off? Through interviews and case studies, this program will assist teachers in coming to some conclusions about the use of ICT and other issues arising from this major change in the way that learning is supported in the modern classroom.

TACKLING BULLYING BIG TIME: NOT IN MY CLASS - MANAGING CLASSROOM BULLYING BEHAVIOURS

Bullying in the classroom is a reality but is not always as obvious as other instances of bullying - such as in the playground. Bullying in the classroom can affect all students - not just those involved in bullying or on the receiving end of the behaviour. No action by a teacher can be seen by students as condoning the bullying or giving tacit acceptance of the behaviour. This program discusses the issue of classroom bullying behaviours, and offers thought-provoking management solutions for teachers who need to address this type of behaviour.

MANAGING THE DIFFICULT GROUP
