Administrators of adult education programs work in dynamic and ever-changing environments. They are continually challenged with a myriad of issues related to programming, budgeting, marketing, strategic planning, funding, human resource management, and other topics. With decades of real-world experience in the field, Steven Schmidt and Susan Yelich Biniecki have developed a second edition of their practical guide for those who are involved in the organization and administration of educational programs for adults. Whether you work in the human resource department of a corporation, a grass-roots community organization, a higher education unit, a consulting company, or any other type of organization that provides adult education, this book is for you. In a no-nonsense approach, Organization and Administration of Adult Education Programs: A Guide for Practitioners, 2nd Edition “talks” to you as an administrator about topics that are important to you. Guidelines, processes, and procedures discussed in the book can help to make you a more effective practitioner.
