Sustaining Adult Continuing Education in Challenging Times
Presentation Type

Presentation Abstract (250 word max.)
The status of adult continuing education has been an area of concern as programs seek to find space in the rapidly changing higher education landscape. Educators and administrators find themselves navigating shifting priorities and budgets as they seek to meet the needs of adult learners in a time when those learning needs are expanding incrementally. How can we carve out sustainable spaces in these challenging times?
This interactive session will engage these issues through the lens of Conceptual Framework Theory. Understanding our own frameworks, and the frameworks of those we seek to influence, negotiate with, and partner with, can create opportunties for dialog and change.
Participants can expect to explore the applications of theory to practice and leave with a greater understanding of how to apply these concepts to program creation and modification.
