Who leads the Academy for Lifelong Learning (A.L.L.) study groups?
All study group leaders are volunteers, Academy members as well as non-members who contribute their time, their knowledge and their love of a particular subject by convening a study group. They are reimbursed not by money but by the pleasure of leading Academy members on new mental adventures. Some have had careers in the subjects their groups study; others have read widely in a field for their own enjoyment; still others are skilled facilitators willing to explore new fields in a group setting. All are highly qualified to lead groups in the subjects they offer. Go to Top • What are a leader’s responsibilities? The Academy encourages interactive learning through member participation to the greatest extent possible. With this aim in mind, the leader’s role is to: — establish the scope and objectives of the course. — introduce basic concepts. — keep the group on target. — clarify areas of confusion. — fill important gaps. — ensure the cooperative nature of the endeavor.
