Rich Environments for Adult Learners
Bentham, Renee
Young Children, v63 n3 p72-74 May 2008
Unaware of the messages a bare adult learning environment sends and its effect on adult learners, a trainer attends an intensive Reggio Emilia course and learns that the physical environment is the "third teacher"--for adults as well as for children. Using principles of Reggio, she offers suggestions for enhancing adult learning spaces and discusses the results.
