When imparting knowledge for adults it is important to give respect in speech as well as demeanor. Being thoughtful about body language, the type and patterns of speech we use can all have an impact in the success of the students.
Facilitators develop a comforting learning environment and foster learned self-confidence by using nonverbal cues to de-escalate any problems that might occur. Always be aware of the nonverbal messages you may be displaying during lessons and remain in control when students are not following the daily expectations. Avoid personal topics and sharing opinions with the students, as they might get offended.

Our classroom set up has a lot of barriers. I will try to circulate around more and not just stay up front and look for ways to reorient the students during the lectures.
I am very aware of my body cues are very important, I am flexible and hear what my students are saying with good eye contact.

As an instructor teaching fellow adults, I have always reminded myself to be respectful, not treat them like children, to be careful when socializing after class, and to remember they are there for their education with their own goals and ambitions, my job is to facilitate their goals.
