APPLICATION TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 

Let’s look at the evidence:

ADULT LEARNING PRINCIPLES Let’s look at the evidence 

Interac-ons, Friend and Cook: ( 2007)   

1) Adults already have many experiences and skills. 

Recommenda@on 

This is par8cularly true of teachers, even if they do not have experience with children with hearing loss.   

Make use of these experiences and skills as part of your presenta8on.  

2) Adults learn best if they know what to expect to learn. 

Recommenda@on 

They also have their own expecta8ons and we need to know what those are, so that we can meet them.  

Tell the par8cipants your expecta8ons and ask them about theirs, not necessarily in that order.

Discussion Quotes (from handout)  

Mentor: …I have had the best luck changing teacher behavior by crea8ng "aha" moments and lots of real‐life examples.   …Adults glaze over just as much as kids when presented with generaliza8ons (See? I just did it. Can you feel yourself geong sleepy?)  Student: …I found a website that showed what a hearing loss might sound like. They even had one with background noise and the teachers were in awe at how hard this must be for Coco and hearing aids do not magically cure her hearing loss.
