Saint Joseph's College of Maine announces a new Adult Education & Training concentration within the online Master of Science in Education degree.

The program will model adult learning principles, which are student-centered rather than teacher-centered, by drawing on the learner's experience, meeting the learners where they are, and allowing learners to guide the learning. "Adult learning concepts foster the students to build knowledge based on their experiences and prior knowledge," says program director Dr. Thomas Hancock. Faculty members become mentors and "guides on the side," while learners mold the program to meet their specific needs.
