To teach as a group, while considering each student is an individual learner 

To teach as a group, while considering each student is an individual learner 

Keeping them motivated by staying enthusiastic myself

How important it is to change up learning strategies to keep students engaged.

Why it is important to use personal life experiences with students.

How to relate to students from different cultures and areas. Ways to make them more comfortable and engaging.

Being able to apply what they've learned in new settings is very important to adult learners. It is good practice to have students perform projects on topics you have recently taught them about. If you explain how to build something during a lecture the students will want to build that same thing themselves immediately. 

I prefer to keep my students motivated by showing them how the class material relates to their personal goals and expectations. 

It is important to stay focused on the goals of the course and try to keep up a strong level of enthusiasm throughout the entire course, not just at the beginning. Adding some variety to the class schedule helps to keep the students focused on the class and increase their interest. It is more important to focus on all of your roles as an instructor (presenter, coach, mentor, designer, judge, etc.) rather than focusing on trying to be a perfect expert. 

Encouragement, camaraderie, and passion are requirements for students to stay focused and involved in the class. A good instructor can make even the most boring or dense material into interesting and digestible presentations.
