<p>Teaching adults may require more attention to detail than teaching the traditional school aged students. Being aware of the different backgrounds of students and the stages of adulthood they are in will be very important. Adult students are in school for different reasons but to get to the end goal is the same process. Knowing your students and what they are dealing with in life, from a high school grad to a professional seeking to advance in his/her particular trade or someone looking to make a completely different career change is going to determine how you contribute to that process. The cool part is that we as Instructors have been where they are and have actually done what is required to reach the same goals they are pursuing. They already have the desire to be something our jobs are to recognize the different challenges each may have and provide the best support. For them to see what they want to become in real life makes it more personal and in turn motivates them to want to do whatever it takes to complete the process. Understanding their individual challenges and using knowledge from our own experiences to address their needs will be our responsibility as the teacher in this relationship.&#160;</p>
