Families play a large and important role in their child’s education and even more so for students with disabilities. As a teacher, your understanding of a family’s unique circumstances and knowledge of how to be supportive through the family life cycle stages will go far in developing partnerships with them.
Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation, with detailed speaker notes (minimum of 50 words per slide), that addresses each of the topics below in the context of teachers working with families of students with disabilities. Summarize how the information you can glean from each topic can help inform your teaching strategy.

Instructions
After reviewing the chapters on theories of adult learning (Merriam and Baumgartner chapters 5 and 16), and this module’s readings on self-directed learning, experience, adult development, and brain/memory/cognitive, judge what you conclude to be the most important concepts from each of those topics—make sure to address each of the concepts listed. Why do you come to that conclusion—that is provide valid rationale?
You were introduced to some enduring theories of adult learning. If you were constructing a theory of adult learning, what would you change, add or delete? Determining how adults learn, how would you design the perfect theory of how adults learn?
Of the elements of adult learning theory presented in the readings, do you identify any underlying themes? What are the similarities and differences between the different elements? Of the elements of adult learning under our control (we can’t change much about brain changes, for instance) what advice would you give to make adult learning the richest experience?
Project to your own teaching demonstration and explain how you will apply elements of adult learning to that teaching demonstration.
How does the new Career and Technical Education (CTE) differ from the old Vocation Education (Voc Ed)? To carry this forward, what is “Linked Learning” and what do its supporters envision for it?
