Transforming Learning by Elevating Education

Instructors for adults are often not trained to teach, so they teach how they were taught. However, the methods they rely on are either outdated or based on theory designed for educating children and do not apply to today’s adult learners. Learners end up bored, frustrated, and uninspired in their courses. Meet Dr. Christa Evangelisto, PhD, keynote speaker on a mission to help educators transform their teaching to reach learners and inspire them to grow. She began this journey as a community college instructor, and noticed that there were a lot of teachers hired for their expertise in the field, and not for their teaching skills. She has a passion for helping people learn, so she decided to pursue her PhD in postsecondary and adult education to learn how to motivate and teach adult learners, so that she might then teach these skills to other teachers and trainers.

After they hear this keynote, your audience will:

• Discover they can motivate and inspire learning

• Realize that the best way to teach adults is multifaceted and includes both content and skills

• Have the ability to understand the principles leading educational design for adult learners

This talk is perfect for college professors at any level, anyone training adults in new material or skills, or people in positions where they need to teach or train others.
