Increasing Adult Learner Engagement Using K-12 Educational Strategies

Engaging adult learners can start with lessons learned years ago in the classroom. In this Powered by Learning episode, teacher-turned L&D professional Maggie Layfield shares how to use K-12 teaching strategies to engage adult learners, create meaningful assessments, and increase retention.  

SHOW NOTES: 

Maggie Layfield of NetSupport shared her passion for using K12 learning approaches with adult learners. Her key takeaways include:

• All students will be in the workforce someday soon. It makes sense we should adopt successful K-12 classroom strategies in the corporate environment.
• Think back to the best teachers you ever had and some words for them such as caring, patience, passion. These traits connect back to engagement in the classroom and can translate into educating adults. 
• You can increase employee engagement and performance through modern instructional best practices built on foundations of K-12 learning. 
• Set the right expectations with learners so they understand what they are learning and why they are learning it.
