It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!

Session Abstract
Developing and implementing andragogy programs andragogically provides an opportunity to “think outside the box”. This effort requires congruency between talking and action. Is this possible to accomplish? Just maybe.
Target Audience
All stakeholders engaged in the process of program building will be interested in this session. Faculty, administrators, staff and learners will profit from this concurrent session. Join this group to learn about the process of engaging adults, enrolled in andragogy classes, who actively work with their Professors- facilitators to create andragogy programs at all levels; Certificate, Masters and Doctoral. Other adult educators involved in planning and conducting any adult education programs will profit from observing and being engaged with the process used in this session.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of this session, participants will understand this new “best practice”. This best practice is informed by foundational theory, research, (Rachal, 2002; Saviecevic, 2008; Glancy & Isenberg, 2011; Isenberg &Titus, 1999; Isenberg & Henschke, 2012; and Knowles, 1990), and the practice of the two andragogy professors’ years of experience in the field as well as their more recent experience guiding the “andragogy” group. Participants will learn the connection between the eight processes of andragogy and how the programs being developed have been planned within the andragogical framework of the six assumptions and each of the eight process steps.
Session Description
As colleges and universities lean in towards a model of “student engagement”, this new best practice takes on a new dimension as well. In a way that can be described as an “immersion’ approach, engagement is both a key descriptor as well as a key component of this model. Historically, and generally, involving the learners in academic degree and certificate program creation (as far as we know), has not been attempted. Vigorously engaging participants in each step of the process of program development may be tested as an example for possibly helping to improve the field of adult and continuing education. This will also provide an opportunity to analyze how this process is being accomplished in a university setting. In essence, the actual research, theory, and practice are an inseparable unit. Engagement is ratcheted up as new design models are created and tested.
