“The mission of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE) is to provide leadership for the field of adult and continuing education by expanding opportunities for adult growth and development; unifying adult educators; fostering the development and dissemination of theory, research, information, and best practices; promoting identity and standards for the profession; and advocating relevant public policy and social change initiatives.”

This is the mission of an association for those who are interested in learning more about adults and how they learn and to hone skills in teaching or training.  An $85 member fee brings a journal, a magazine, connections with others in the field, and more.  There is an annual conference with presentations to aid the teacher of adults in varied areas; military, religious, distance, career, human resource to name a few.

Publications:

Adult Education Quarterly-major research journal
Adult Learning-magazine with tips, hints, ideas
Journal of Transformative Education-theoretical journal on teaching and learning
Handbook Of Adult and Continuing Education-75 authors write about the current state of training and teaching for adults
