Evaluation Theories
Evaluation theories are akin to military strategy and tactics. A good evaluator needs theories to choose and deploy methods. The evaluator is concerned with models and theories of evaluation. The major streams of evaluation are: why theories matter, frameworks for classifying multiple theories, in-depth examination of 4-6 major theories, identification of key issues on which evaluation theories and models differ, benefits and risks of relying heavily on any one theory, and tools and skills that can help you in picking and choosing from different theoretical perspectives in planning an evaluation in a specific context.

Teaching Adult Learners
Teachers, educators, and seminar facilitators that deal with adult learners usually face a number of challenges. First, adult learners may have years of working experience. Most of them fall into the 30- to 40-year age bracket. They also come from all walks of life. Lastly, they are usually keen learners, since they decided to participate on a learning seminar or program because they wanted to. For that reason, they tend to set high standards for their teachers or seminar facilitators. That is why they usually demand an expert to guide them in their learning endeavors. But these challenges can easily be managed by comprehensive and updated academic content, proper teaching techniques, and a prepared facilitator.
