Hi Christine,
It sounds like you have a very interesting class based upon the content and the diversity of your student body. You have many challenges with your students and your approach is meeting the challenges and keeping the students engaged in the learning process.
The encouragement factor is so important. Non-traditional adult learners coming back to school are very high risk and they need to know that someone cares about their success and that they can make it through their training program. The key is for them to hear it often.
