This publication introduces Curriculum globALE, a basic com- petence framework for the training of adult educators worldwide. By providing a modular, competency-based framework and cross-curricular approach, Curriculum globALE is unique in its aim to professionalize adult learning and education (ALE) on an international scale, via the competencies that support adult educators to work in any educational setting, field or form.
It strives to ensure that educatorsโ knowledge, competencies, skills and attitudes are of a professional standard.
Curriculum globALE is suitable to different contexts and its character and structure enables its inclusion in diverse national education systems.
Curriculum globALE aims to:
- enhance the professionalization of ALE by providing a common reference framework for adult learning programmes and a suggested standard of competencies for adult educators;
- support ALE providers in the design and implementation of โtrain-the-trainerโprogrammes;
- foster knowledge exchange and mutual understanding between adult educators worldwide.
