Prior Learning & Career Specialists to Give Conference Presentation
Melanie Booth, Jackie Fowler and Lynn Brown will present A Match.com for Mid-Life Adults in Higher Education at the Student Success and Retention Conference on February 4, 2009 at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel.
About the Presentation
A Match.com for Mid-Life Adults in Higher Education:
Prior Learning Assessment and Career Planning & Development
In this interactive workshop, participants will consider the natural and intentional synergy between two seemingly disparate programs designed to promote access and success for mid-life adult learners in higher education: Prior Learning Assessment and Career Planning & Development. Several key themes – including the role of critical reflection, life and career transitions, lifelong development, goal clarification and the identification of transferable skills and knowledge – will be highlighted. Participants will also engage with each other to consider their own institutional possibilities for program "matches" and to generate ideas for addressing the needs and assessing the learning of mid-life adults in higher education.
