AEDP™ Education Committee

The Education Committee’s main responsibility is to assess and assist incoming course and seminar applications to ensure they meet the Institute’s rigorous standards. They also work on refining application processes to uphold these standards and promote inclusivity. Additionally, the committee evaluates applications from AEDP Supervisors seeking to teach the Essential Skills curriculum and attain the title of Adjunct Faculty, as well as applications from Adjunct Faculty aiming to become Senior Faculty. Reporting to the Institute Steering Committee, their aim is to align their activities with the broader objectives of the AEDP Institute, fostering a community committed to transformative learning and development.
