I am honored to be creating and teaching a brand-new online course for Harvard Extension School. Adult Learning Theories, will begin in September 2020. 

Learning opportunities for adults are often modeled after our classes in grade school and high school. However, adults learn much differently from children. Their motivation to learn is vastly different as well. This course explores adult learning theory and practice, how to engage the adult learner, and how to provide learning opportunities that both motivate and challenge. Human resources practitioners, leaders, and trainers alike benefit from this course, as will managers of teams in any functional area of the organization.

Registration for the Adult Learning Theories course and Harvard Extension School’s other amazing educational opportunities begins on July 20, 2020 and may be accessed here. 

Harvard Extension School is the online learning/continuing education platform for Harvard University. I most recently taught at Harvard Extension School in the fall of 2019, when I created another new course, Nonprofit Human Resources Management. That course will be offered again in the spring 2021 semester.
