Colleagues:

I have just completed the first draft (actually the 5th draft) of a 214-page
book on the skills required by adjunct professors to establish an exciting
learner-centered environment for adults. I'll be happy to send a CD (RW) for
critical review to the first 20 people in higher education who email me a request.
Please include a snail mail address and the institution with which you are
associated.

Thanks much,

Community Professors: Faculty Skills Required for Teaching Adult Learners
by
Robert A. Cornesky, Sc.D.
Many colleges and universities have started adult and graduate studies
programs that are run during the evening and weekends. It is not unusual for such
programs to be offered at sites far away from the main campus and for most of
the courses to be taught by adjunct instructors that have little or no teaching
experience, especially with adult learners. This book is a comprehensive
training manual for these adjunct instructors. Chapters 1-6 address strategies for
establishing leading a collaborative, learner-centered environment where
students are actively involved in study groups and self-assessment. There are three
appendices: 1) classroom quality improvement tools for the real world, 2)
feedback forms for students and instructor, and 3) examples of course syllabi
with lesson plans. Also included are many training activities to keep the
students actively involved.

Hi - I'd really enjoy this - I'm at The Open University as a regional
academic, designing and writing courses for open learning.

I hope I am one of the first 20!

Sounds like a very welcome contribution to teachers, both experienced and beginning.
