Alot of the information is just good reminders for teachers to help students be engaged in the classroom.

There are different learning theories that describe adult learners and understanding each one is important for developing an optimal classroom learning environment.

When advising students we must consider what approach will have a better outcome. Student's personal and life situation might impact how they respond to an advisement. Personally, I will consider approaching each student as an individual and understanding that that there is nor specific recipe that applies to all students.

When speaking with students we need to use full body listening and provide feedback as needed. When a poing is not clear we need to repeat back what we understood to get clarification. I personally will make it a point to slow down when having a conversation with a student to make sure I don't cut them off.
