And I know the difference. With adults, I focus on the explicit ‘why’. Their previous experiences and unique skillsets are crucial to access so that new material has a purpose and becomes essential to these learners in their professional journey. Both children and adults benefit from experiential learning, but adults need to drive those experiences and own them. If adult learners feel ownership, their current knowledge tends to be malleable and open to adding new connections. I am a strong user of technology. I often spend nights and weekends exploring the nooks and crannies of programs and tools to find innovative and unique ways to implement the features effectively. When learning new software, I recognize its similarities to other known software so I can build on that prior schema to integrate it and put it to use. I am an independent multitasker. Working for small entities means that I have worn multiple hats at once and have often performed my job without team assistance. Throughout my career, I have independently driven projects and processes from start to finish; although collaboration and teamwork may happen at a high level, or in specific pieces of the project, the full ownership of the process has been mine.
