"Learning for Life" is not just a fancy catchphrase that we like to say or put on our documents. But it is a culture that leads to the growth of our organization and our students. This Learning for Life happens when we develop a mindset that is growth-focused. Below you will find resources that will help you foster the Learning for Life culture that the Adult School is all about.
You are encouraged to take advantage of unlimited self-directed online learning with LinkedIn Learning – and to have ongoing conversations with your colleagues and administration about your learning and development!
If you decide on a course, within the courses are the actual content videos. PLEASE DO NOT WATCH AN 1 HOUR COURSE IN ITS ENTIRETY. The beauty of LinkedIn Learning is you can cover the content it bite-sized pieces. Most LinkedIn Learning content videos are only 2 minutes long.
