Excerpt from Educational Survey of Stephens County, Georgia From illustrations and descriptions and reports of the schools of Stephens county as given herein it will be seen that the public school situation isnot such as to excite the pride of the citizens or afford a fair opportunity to the children, and it is very clear that the entire county school system must be reorganized before a basis can be laid for adequate educational facilities for the children of the county. The problem, which is the most important one confronting the people, shculd be considered as a whole rather than from the standpoint of any one school or locality. It is a countywide problem of far-reaching importance, and well deserves the most serious consideration of all good citizens. It is not even second in importance to permanent good roads or streets or court houses. No school in the county can ever attain its highest efficiency or render its greatest service until every school in the county is made a good school. Each one is more or less dependent upon and influenced by every other one, and all should be organized into a harmonious educational system with the purpose of providing for every child in the county equal and adequate opportunities for a thorough education. This can only be done by a business-like organization well indicated by experience and opinions of public school administrators, and the unselfish cooperation of all the citizens of the county. Such reorganization will first involve abolishing the legal wall of separation in educational matters set up by special legislation around the towns of Toccoa and Martin, and making one cause with the rest of their county for a thoroughly efficient educational system. This can be done as it has been done in many other Georgia counties, without any sacrifices, financial or educational, to either of these Stephens county towns. On the contrary, there is much to be gained by both towns from cooperating in such proposed reorganization. Still more would be the gain to rural sections of the county; and no good fortune can come to any part of the county without being shared by the county seat. The public schools at Toccoa and Martin have probably about reached their full growth and development already until they can render better service and receive better support for their county, and to perpetuate their limitations would be selfish, non-progressive, and suicidal policy.

Excerpt from Educational Survey of Walker County, Georgia The biggest public problem confronting Walker county, undoubtedly, is the proper education of the children future citizens of the county. No other compares with it in present importance or projects itself so far into the future. In proportion as people are more im portant than property will their training mean more than any' possible development of the material resources of the county. Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. But more serious thought and business-like planning and liberal financial support has been given to the development of the material interests of Walker county than to the con struction of an efficient public school system, as evidenced by the greater progress accomplished, court house and jail, public road system, agriculture, etc., etc. As compared to these we would call attention to the photographs and de tailed descriptions of the school houses and school equip ments of the rural schools given in this report. A good public road system makes a good public school system possible, and neither can be had with-out both lib eral financial support and strong central expert administra tion. Local initiative or administration never accomplishes either. Administration and supervision should always come from the same source as the support, and in the same pro portion.

Excerpt from Educational Survey of Carroll County Georgia, 1919 Note: . An experience with county-wide local school tax is the most effective argument for it.

How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices.
