A Threefold Plan for Trainers and Educators in Today’s Diverse Learning Environments
Abstract
As we look around college classrooms today, they are beginning to resemble the workforce. The diversity of learners has increased with the changes in the nontraditional student population over the past few decades. Nontraditional learners are becoming the new face of students in higher education, just as they have always been the learners in the workforce. The numbers of adults in the classroom are expected to continue to increase over time. Primary among the many reasons for this change are “an aging and increasingly diverse population, the rapid pace of technological change, and the constantly shifting demands of the workplace in this era of a global economy” (Ross-Gordon, 2011, p. 26). Therefore, we are seeking ways to not only teach these diverse populations in higher education but also to train the diverse populations in the workforce.
