Most of my students fall in the 18-25 year old range. Though in my 40's, I feel I relate well to this age group on the whole. However, occasionally we have a 17 year old student, and currently, I have a student in the neighborhood of 60 years old. At times, these large range of ages has impacted the "group dynamic" in a negative way. Other times, it has had a positive or neutral effect. My continuing challenge (that seems constantly change in circumstances) is to work toward a positive learning environment or, what I like to call, "moving forward". Any thoughts?
