Principles for Effectively Serving Adult Learners
Student Success Adult Learners and Students with Children Mid-Level New Professional Senior Level
For 40 years, the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) has been helping colleges and universities identify and remove barriers to adult learning. Because many of these barriers are institutional, CAEL has developed a taxonomy of nine principles for effectively serving the adult learner. This module identifies and discusses the principles, presents examples of how they can be implemented, and describes how student affairs leaders and practitioners can help ensure that their institutions more effectively recruit, retain, and graduate adult students.
