Engaging Adult Learners

"[I deeply believe] that all human beings

can be aided to become increasingly self-reliant

and autonomous, that the most important

single principle is that the learner be fully engaged,

and that the main goal of adult-learning is to

develop men and women who are, at the same time,

compassionately sensitive and tough-minded."

--Roby Kidd, How Adults Learn (1959)
