Coaching and Mentoring in Adult Education focuses on equipping participants with the essential skills and methodologies required to effectively guide adult learners. The course emphasizes interactive, project-based learning, allowing participants to engage deeply with the material and apply their insights in practical contexts. Through collaborative projects, participants will explore various coaching techniques, mentorship strategies, and adult learning theories, fostering an environment conducive to professional growth and development.
The program encourages participants to publish their findings and experiences in Cademix Magazine, promoting a culture of knowledge sharing and professional discourse. By the end of the course, attendees will have developed a comprehensive understanding of adult education dynamics and will be able to implement effective coaching and mentoring practices tailored to diverse learning environments.
