Many of my students are older than "typical" college students...I am younger than many of them. This can create an interesting situation when behavior necessitates redirecting. I've found that maintaining professionalism at all time is key to earning and keeping the respect of the students. Does anyone else have any suggestions for similar scenarios?

How does everyone manage to fully engage the wide variety of students in their class? I have different ages, cultures, and cognitive abilities in my class. I have tried to ensure that the material is appropriate, and that each student has ample opportunity to voice their opinion or thoughts. It's been difficult to get everyone on board with some classwork though. I'm interested to hear other experiences and methods!
