Abstract
Dr. Laurent Daloz teaches adult education at Leslie College, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The main focus of this interview is upon Dr. Daloz's book, Effective Teaching and Mentoring: Realizing The Transformational Power of Adult Learning Experiences, which has broken new ground in the area of mentoring. Dr. Daloz's analysis has also provided useful material for those who are in the business of helping adults learn.
Dr. Daloz has been involved with adult education for many years, and he was instrumental in founding the nontraditional Vermont community college system. In his book, he has drawn in some depth from his personal experiences working with traditional and nontraditional learners who were seeking a higher education. He has combined that experience with his psychology background in developmental theory.
