Experience Value in Adult Learning
Adult experience is the richest resource in any learning room, and it's the one most consistently set aside. Andragogy established this decades ago. Professional learning keeps designing as if it isn't true.
Note on This Set
This set has three resources. They move from the research base through interpretation and into a pattern recognition tool. Not every set will use every layer, and that's by design. Each one is built around what the topic actually needs.
