It is important to be empathetic to your students and their needs. Understanding the students and relating to them the real life benefits of the content can help them stay focused on their motivating factor.

Using story telling to incorporate real life learning into the classroom is a good way to break up leactures and keep students focused.

Even though you might be teaching adult learners, they do enjoy a fun learning environment. It's ok to incorporate jokes and activities to make the learning experience humourous and more enjoyable. 

Being aware of a student's intrinsic and extrinic motivations will allow for a better understanding of the individual. Allowing you to make sure they are still focused on a goal which will keep them effectively engaged in the material.

Take notes on how you can improve. If you see areas you may notice students are not grasping, it could be an opportunity for you to clarify your teaching,

Help the students meet each other as well as yourself.

Arrive early, to prepare and greet students.

Learn the best way your individual students can suceed. Check in with them daily to make sure they are staying motivated toward their goals.
