Internal motivators inspire adults more than external motivators. Using pilot program implementation that assesses progress and measure success will help motivate participants. Opinion leaders successfully implementing the training will further motivate the laggards

(Tolster, 2014) Training will be tailored to individual faculty needs assuring that staff gains the specific knowledge they need. It is important that faculty training is content specific to the skills each individual learner needs.

For adult learners the relevance of the training is important. Modeling will be built into the DTTP to show faculty how the training can make a difference to their work. T

Adults involved in the planning, implementation and assessment of the training they are doing, feel more responsible for their learning. The DTTP will have small groups working to develop plans for which training is most valuable and needed. The development of assessments for the PD will be created by group leaders.

"Adults need to know the reason for learning something" (Wikipedia, n.d.) The benefits of the training will be explored and demonstrated to the faculty to ensure their understanding of what they need to learn.

Adult learners come with a wealth of knowledge and experiences that they have accumulated over a lifetime. It is important to encourage them to build upon these experiences and to draw on that knowledge when problem-solving. Assessments will be built into the DTTP early on to guage which experiences will benefit various groups most.
