When engaging the students in discussion or physical(Lab) participation, it not only engages the two students involved but tends to create a class discussion.  This also is a way of the students introducing themselves to each other.  I find it's a win all around.  I love to see students learning from each other. 

I've learned that different teaching style apply to different students.  Each student is an individual and should be treated as such.

Learning the different ages, background, and reasons that motivated these students to continue their education is my starting point to working with them on an individual basis.  Not all students will be forthcoming with their personnel experiences until they feel comfortable....and sometimes that takes some time.  Respect for fellow classmates is a given and also to be helpful to one another.  Classroom mantra.... when you help others, you are helping yourself.  It seems to work, and they make a friend in the process.
