TETRA-S: Tools for improving skills for adult educators to realise transfer and successful social inclusion. Handbook for adult educators (PR 15)[Manual]

Abstract

The TETRA-S Handbook for adult educators (PR 15) is a practical resource designed to improve the competencies of adult educators working with learners who have cognitive needs. The main goal is to enhance social inclusion by focusing on transversal skills and transfer of learning.

The handbook defines six key transversal skills—memory, problem-solving, self-regulation, cognitive flexibility, self-direction, and creativity—and provides practical strategies for training them. It emphasizes creating a Powerful Learning Environment (PLE) that is learner-centered, goal-oriented, and utilizes both digital and classic methods. Key concepts covered include collaborative learning, real-world application, and methodologies for actively teaching the transfer of skills to daily life situations. It also guides educators on collaborating with social networks and overcoming common training challenges.
