In order for students to reach their full learning potential, it is important that teachers support and motivate them.  If students feel that the teacher is not concerned with their well being in the class, they are less likely to put forth effort.

I think it is important to include differentiation in all classrooms, no matter if learning disabilities are present or not.  All students learn in different ways and differentiation allows them to choose which way is best.

I think it is important to utilize the human factor in any classroom, but especially in those with adult learners.  This helps learners to feel less stressed about acheiving a certain grade by themselves and they are more willing to utilize the teacher as a resource.

I think it is important to utilize student backgrounds and knowledge so that as a teacher you can ensure they are learning at the appropriate level.
