CHILDREN vs. ADULT LEARNERS Adapted from Train the Trainer, 2nd Edition, Ittner & Douds, 1997 ChildrenAdults Rely on others to decide what is important to be learned. Decide for themselves what is important to be learned. Accept the information presented at face value. Need to verify the information based on their beliefs and experiences. Expect what they are learning to be useful in their long-term future. Expect what they are learning to be immediately useful. Have little or no experience upon which to draw ­ are relatively "clean slates." Have much past experience on which to draw ­ may have fixed viewpoints. Have little ability to serve as a knowledgeable resource to teacher or fellow classmates. Have significant ability to serve as resource to the trainer and fellow learners.

REFERENCES In doing research for a comprehensive book entitled Leadership for the Twenty-First Century, Joseph Rost listed over 500 works focused on leadership, largely published in the 1980s when the industry exploded with literature on the subject. Today the field has been greatly expanded to focus not just on the “leader” but also on followers, peers, work setting, context, and culture. Forward favorite references you feel may be relevant to:
