I have learned that adult learners do like fun 'child-like-activities sometimes. I will remember this and try to incorporate some fun moments into my classes.

I have seen some strategies in this portion of the lesson that I have incorporated in past classes teaching students. I do agree with finding out what initially motivates a student to return to school and then use this information to help support the student. I like how this lesson also points out that adult learners may have additional stressors outside of school (children, jobs, finances) and how I need to take this into account in supporting the student.

It is important to spend ample time planning for your class, reading the material and arriving to class early so the learning environment will be more relaxed for the students as they enter the classroom.

The 5 C's-I loved this concept and Model-Manage-Motivate!
