Importantly, as learners come with different expectations and experiences around classroom dynamics, explicitly modeling and discussing disagreement as something that is expected and accepted as a part of classroom discussion, and that it may look different from what students may be used to, can support learners from diverse backgrounds.

Brain breaks that include movement allow learners to refresh their thinking and focus on learning new information.
Providing tools so learners can choose to listen to a text supports individual strengths and needs.
Adult English learners may or may not have a strong foundation in their Primary Language and may need to develop oral English skills, written English skills, or both.
The complexity of the cognitive operations and the knowledge involved in a process such as note-taking require note-takers to actively control what they are doing and to master the way they work. This metacognitive knowledge allows them to plan their activity, to evaluate and regulate it (Rémond, 2003). Garcia-Mila and Andersen (2007) further argued that metacognition is important for at least two reasons. First, as learners often misperceive the task demands and their own future state of knowledge, they do not see the utility of note-taking. Second, these misperceptions make learners not refer back to their notes and thereby miss feedback that would refine their metacognitive knowledge and strategy use. (Makany et al, 2009)

Self-regulation is a limited capacity resource meaning that it can become depleted over the course of the task or day, or can become drained when learners are spending much of their energy working to focus.
Socioeconomic Status and educational attainment are tightly interconnected, and adult learners are often seeking to improve their Socioeconomic Status through continuing education and training opportunities.
