I was an adult learner. I try to be conscious of what an adult learner has to go through with having a family, a job and "adult responsibilities." I do not make it easier for them, just more suited to them.

The dual psychology approach fits with my experience with anatomical learning. The left side of the brain is well known to have the language centers and the right side is well known for creative exploits. 

I am a big believer in the adult learner wanting to know what is in it for them. I think when an adult learner goes back to school they have an idea of what they will get out of it. I try to always show how information is useful to an individual when I can. Students listen more when they know there is something in it for them

Seems like the adult learning lifespan has some similarities to the regular human lifespan. Taking that into account with your students would be worthwhile to recognize.

I would allow the adult learners to express their strengths of experience, time management and multi-tasking in certain activities to help them feel as though they have something to offer, which they do. 

The value of a portfolio.

Technology and smart phones can be valuable in the class room.

Involving anyone in a process always increases their interest and promotes success. 

Students need to see what is in it for them. There is nothing wrong with this. Self interest is available personal drive.
