In this module, I learned that adult learners are often more resilient in their educational pursuits because they are driven by long-term goals, personal growth, and intrinsic motivation.

Adult learners are motivated chiefly by internal factors and use their life experiences as important support in their overall learning activities.

I try to keep my students engaged by incorporating a variety of hands on projects, both individual and team based. This gives them opportunities to develop their own skills while also learning to collaborate, communicate, and improve through feedback from their peers and myself.

I've learned that inclusive teaching means understanding students' needs and helping them succeed in different ways. I use hands on demonstrations, group activities, and individual support to help students learn and build confidence.

I've learned that incorporating technology through online lectures, interactive activities, and in person demonstrations helps keep students engaged in CTE. I plan to continue using these approaches alongside hands on projects rather than relying only on traditional whiteboard instruction.

By teaching students on a semi-individual basis makes for a more inclusive classroom. Self-paced learning works well to a degree but the process must be guided carefully. 

I learned that incorporating technology into the classroom would help mirror real world environments and that gamification of lessons would help keep students engaged. 

I learned that students learn by hands-on projects and not by just memorization. I also learned that new information is built upon students prior knowledge and they learn based on what they already know. CTE is constructivism at it's core and having an inclusive environment is key to having a successful program. 

The importance of frequently showing applicable use of the information struck me as particularly important.
