Educational Brokering a New Service for Adult Learners.
Heffernan, James M.; And Others
Educational brokerages are described in this monograph as intermediaries which help adult students find their way into and through the experience of postsecondary education. Examples given range from community-based, free-standing counseling and advocacy agencies to community colleges without faculty or campus. Each of the nine chapters asks and discusses a broad question related to setting up, maintaining, and evaluating an educational brokerage for adult learners. The questions are: What is educational brokering? How do we select our services? Whom do we serve? How do we staff our operations? How do we organize our operations? How do we relate to other institutions? How do we reach our clients? How do we make it financially? and How do we appraise our efforts? Two sections which appear in each chapter are "The Problems We Face" and "Our Reflections and Strategies." A list of participants in Project Exchange (a cooperative effort funded by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) during which a number of educational brokerages shared the information which resulted in this monograph) is included in the introduction. An appendix suggests uses of the monograph and contains a directory of 18 brokering programs. (LMS)
