Security issues can be addressed during instruction, questions and acitivites. The classroom is a sanctuary for learning.

It is important to motivate and encourage students to express their fears and concerns in a program.

Be supportive in every way specially with adult student that may have a lots of questions.
Adult learners are here to learn and take school seriously.
I like the strategy of allowing students to create their own test question.
I encourage students not to get discouraged on tough assignments are do able and show them their opininon is valued.
Allow students feedback to enhance more engagement & share life experiences,
Adult learners make decisions in almost every aspect of their lives. As a result, having an increased level of autonomy in their learning process positively impacts their motivation level. A feeling of security is also important and links to motivation. Fostering an environment in which students feel supported, understood, comfortable with making mistakes without having the fear of being "embarrased" in front of others or without immediate impact on their grade results in better engagement and better overall motivation.
Use supportive responses with adult teaching and makding them feel secure and a sense of atuonomy
Identify student needs and give positive feedback.
Always be positive and be clear in explaining.
I use a lot of what was discussed in my classroom. One thing i do need to do is give students enough time to answer a question.
Security was something that stuck out to me. The student has to believe in their abilities in the classroom in order to help them thrive. I think this is important for us all some point in time in our lives.
