AEGIS Program Research Guide

Welcome to the Research Guide for the Adult Education Guided Intensive Study (AEGIS) Program

This research guide is intended as an overview of library resources of particular relevance for students in the Adult Education Guided Intensive Study (AEGIS) program at Teachers College. The resources, primarily electronic and accessible from on and off campus, have been selected to support the aims and objectives of the program, emphasizing "transformative learning and development for adult and organizational change in many different settings — educational institutions, business and non-profit or government institutions, healthcare, and community settings," and ideally preparing "educational leaders to create bridges to strengthen organizational, community, and national capacity."
