Are there any workshops devoted to adult learning or tutoring?

By tutormentor2 @ Monday, May 05, 2008 1:58 PM

The conference and Tutor/Mentor Connection are primarily focused on helping youth-serving tutor/mentor programs grow. Thus the workshops don't focus on adult learning. However, adult learning programs require the same forms of leadership, marketing, fund raising, etc. in order to sustain their efforts, and be available to learners in a community. Thus, if you're a volunteer, leader or board member, there would be value in participating.
