The key to delivering content effectively is to first familiarize yourself with the material to be covered, practice before hand any demonstrations to be done and vary the way the material is delivered. By doing this we can address several different learning preferences on the part of the students, maximize their attention span, and keep them engaged.

First impressions are very important, that is why as instructors we must do everything possible to present ourselves in a positive light from the get go. I like to tell the students about myself and have them share a little something about themselves. By doing this and getting a bit more familiar, everyone benefits by feeling more comfortable in the learning environment.

Taking the time to organize and prepare the material to be covered simplifies the process for the instructor and guarantees a better result on the part of the students.

An instructor's professional style takes time to fully develop. While we might inherently have a particular style as individuals, this should be honed with experience, adopting things that are effective and leaving behind the ones that aren't.

Always tell the good students how well they are doing and tell the ones struggling how well they can in act do.

Adult learners can be motivated when their instructor shares not only knowledge, but life experience about their field. By doing this, students can more concretely see themselves doing the job and it becomes more "real".

It is beneficial to show students how much they are learning in their chosen field by conversing with them about the subject matter in informal settings throughot the course. This positive feedback can reenergize their experience.

It is important to let adult learners know that the education they are getting will be instrumental in bettering their life prospects and that they will make a difference.

It is important to take into consideration the fact that adult learners have many more responsabilities than a typical younger counterpart.

When dealing with highly technical material, it is often less confusing for the student if they are allowed to expand on the answer and not limiting them to a multiple choice situation.
