Description

ENGAGEMENT is a plan; for sure, we all have our ideas on how to get on stage (center stage front) when it comes to "show time." This paper is a quasi tongue in cheek limited look at a few ways to " ... create an educational program and setting in which adult students can develop their latent self-directed learning skills" (Brookfield, 1986, p. 92). Most of us need a plan to get on stage before we start a class. Having a plan is half the battle for engagement success. An andragogue/teacher/instructor/facilitator (ATIF) will look forward to lighting the fuse if he knows exactly how he is going to start the class.
