Review
"The definitive book about planning and presenting professional development that energizes and empowers adult learners. Captures the heart and soul of the process." -- Kay Burke, International Consultant 20060606 "Fogarty has held true to her beliefs about professional development: 'accentuate the practical' and 'honor the teacher.' The authors bring the best of their many years of experience by putting these principles at the center of their sage and practical advice for professional developers." -- Jim Bellanca, President 20060606 "Provides templates and models that could be adapted for more insights into adult learning. In addition, rubrics and practical strategies are included to support curriculum design for adults. The book also provides a basic overview for those who want to gain a clearer understanding of the adult learner." -- PsycCRITIQUES, October 2007, Vol. 52(41) 20071107
