Develop Yourself as an Adult Educator

How you intend to develop yourself as an Adult Educator in view of the emerging WSQ issues and CET environment (e.g. older workforce, focus on training of PMETs):  Write 3 SMART learning goals as part of your development plan.  Explain why your learning goals are important. I intend to undertake a formal training program, such as this program DACE that I am going through now (and a few others), to equip myself to be a more effective or wholesome trainer. One that can allow me to develop myself in the area of training/facilitating and courseware development. I have an interest in using digital teaching technology to reach out to my audience and applying technology to reach out to a wider set of learners via elearning and mlearning. I understand that all trainers are works-in-progress and needs to continue to develop oneself by embracing continuous learning and staying current with not just the domain knowledge (i.e. the domain space in which the trainer is an expert in) but also in instructional methods and appreciating/engaging with the uniqueness of adult learners. On this note, I would like to share my 3 goals that I have which would allow me to develop myself. My three smart goals to allow me to develop the goals I have briefly outlined above are.
