Lose the Lecture

Professional development is important, but early childhood professionals get just as bored, worn out, and disengaged from learning as their younger counterparts do. But while pre-K and K–12 classroom learning continues to evolve and improve, adult learners are often left by the wayside! There must be a better way.

Teresa A. Byington brings administrators, coaches, and facilitators a new approach to professional development and adult learning that focuses on the learners—how they think, what they need, and what motivates them to grow. Lose the Lecture features dozens of tips and strategies to engage adult learners and help them thrive in their careers. 

• Teach adult learners in the ways they learn best

Perfect for any professional-learning facilitator—coach, mentor, or early childhood director— Lose the Lecture helps turn professional learning from a dreaded requirement to a meaningful opportunity. The best part? There’s no slide show deck!
