Integrate Returning Adult Students

The next thing you want to do is make sure and integrate your students, and what I mean by this is mixing up the returning students with the other students. What tends to happen is the returning students tend to migrate together because they feel more comfortable with their own kind and so you've got this group of returning students with this one set of experience and then you've got this group of nineteen, twenty year old students with another set of experience and that's such a tragedy that the two can not mix and learn from each other. I encourage you to do group work within your class even if it's just proposing a question to a certain group and mix the returning students in with the students. Pick the groups yourself. Don't allow the returning students to all clump up and always, you know, work together because their perception is that of a returning student. Let them work with the other students so that they can see the perception of the young student and that the young student can learn from the perception of the returning student.
