Adult learner to instructor

I am and continue to be an adult learner As a result of being an older adult learner, I experienced a wall towards adult learners as apposed to new students. They wanted to do a cookie cutter teaching style. In my case, I don't learn the same as a young student. Thats why I became an instructor devoted to older learners

Jeffery,
I commend you for your effort and enthusiasm for helping adult learners to be successful in the classroom. In our college the numbers are growing and we need to work hard to get them engaged and seeing how they can be successful if they put forth the effort. In addition they need to see that they are respected for the life experiences they bring to class and you are doing this through your efforts.
