Adult Learning and Professional Leadership Presentation

Reading/Literacy specialists are responsible for teaching young students and the adult educators that lead them. Following an effective leadership model and understanding the principles of adult learning are important for reading/literacy specialists when working with a diverse range of people. Adult learning is said to be the heart of literacy leadership. To create professional development opportunities that honor adult learners, reading/literacy specialists need to understand and follow the principles of adult education.

Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation describing successful adult learning principles and professional learning and leadership models to present to other reading/literacy specialists as professional development. Focus on specific, research-based models and include the following in your presentation:

• Description of at least three principles of adult learning and their features.
• Description of at least three professional learning and leadership models and their features.
• Explanation of how the principles of adult learning and professional learning and leadership models described help guide your leadership approach while promoting career-long learning.
• Description of how the principles of adult learning and professional learning and leadership models described can be used to differentiate professional development for diverse adult learners.
• Description of how the adult learning principles and professional learning and leadership models apply to professional development and school culture.
• Title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes

Following the presentation, including a 250-500 word reflection describing the approach you plan to take when leading adult learners, is based on your digital presence. Explain how you will use adult learning principles and professional learning and leadership models to guide your leadership approach as a reading/literacy specialist. How does your plan for leading adult learners align with the GCU College of Education Professional Dispositions and enhance professional development and school culture?

Support your presentation and reflection with 3-5 scholarly resources. I will search for some sample r=presentations once Read Chapters 1 and 4.
