Hello, I am new to teaching adults. I am lucky to have
recently gotten a position teaching government at my local
adult school. Right now I am staying home with my
children, so working 6 hours a week outside the home is
the perfect combination for me. Before this, I was
teaching continuation school. I have a few questions.

1. How do you approach classroom management with adults?
2. What are strategies that have proven effective in
keeping your students coming back?
3. Any other words of wisdom are most appreciated!!!
4. If anyone out there has taught government at the adult
school on a quarter system, I would LOVE to know how you
broke up the curriculum and made it accelerated.

Thank you so much. I am looking foward to posting here.

I am at a traditional high school now but I used to teach in a
GED program. I would tell them "I need my class to be (however
you want it to be) and if that is not something that you are
willing to do then we need to talk about other options for you.

Here's my philosophy . . . they have a choice whether...See More
