Teachers in adult education courses require special skills to motivate, instruct and, at the same time, put their adult students at ease in the classroom.

Adults also require specialized instruction in that they need to be able to put their lessons to practical application. For example, when teaching a computer course in a spreadsheet application, the teacher will have the students create their own spreadsheets; in order to practice the techniques they have learned and relate to how they will be using the program in the workplace.
