Students need to know what behaviors are acceptable and what won't be tolerated from the first day of class. It is important for instructors to be attentive and listen. Instructors are challenged by students negative attitude, but instructors who try to make connections between students and their interests can help to improve students' attitudes by showing them how the material they are learning is interesting and practical.

I find it is helpful to use tactics to help adults students decode information that is being presented to them.

Listening skills are an incredibly important skill for teachers. It is difficult for a teacher to know what needs to be taught unless he can hear what is missing, what needs clarification and what is understood. If a class of any age feels the teacher does not hear them, their needs or their concerns, then the learning will suffer whether the teacher knows it or not.

To attract students a educational institution must work to improve on diversity, provide mentors to ease the transition into college life, and hire and retain faculty who reflect the school vision and values in everything they do.

Students share stories about how their institution is fun, supportive, and how they learned alot.

How does social network impacts students and faculty integrity? Several educational institutions are confronting the issue of social networking sites. In November 2008 one teacher out of Charlotte-Mecklenburg system in North Carolina was dismissed after a probe uncovered numerous questionable web postings. How can we monitor and encourage doing the right thing?

According to the National Center for Health, over the past three decades in the United States, behavioral and learning disorders have emerged as major chronic conditions affecting the development of school-aged children and adolescents. These school-aged children are now adults and are going back to school. Insturctors are willing to help all students with any type of disability, but students with disabilities have to self-advocate. Matching their strengths and abilities is key to the sucess of a disablity learner.

With the change in population and the increase growth rate of children with learing disabilites it is imparative that instructors understnd some of the challenges these students are facing. Insturctors must be aware of the multicultural curriculums, the use of culturally sensitive assessment and intervention strategies to retain, educate, and respect the needs of the diverse learners.
