Even when reprimanding students, stressing they always have a choice is essential: they can choose to do their homework, for example, four days a week and be rewarded by no homework for the weekend, or if they do not turn in their homework on time they do not get a reward of a free weekend, and a reduction in their grade because the paper is late.
Creating an environment where it is 'easier' to be responsible is also helpful. For example, writing down all assignments that are due on a dry erase board, so students are constantly confronted with the deadlines for various projects makes it harder for them to forget. Having differently colored folders for certain subjects, mandating that students keep their work areas clean, and listing daily rules on posters such as 'pick up after yourself'...

It is important to recognize the many different areas within adult education, and what type of students these areas attract. Ultimately, for the adult education department to be successful, it must attract a wide variety of students, and keep at least some of those students coming back to continue their education in order to be successful.

According to Montgomery (2003), "Higher floors of buildings tended to rent at a substantial discount, due to the need to climb several flights of stairs to reach one's workplace or residence. Otis's invention of the safety elevator at mid-century heralded the end of this constraint on vertical real estate development" (495). Likewise, Masden notes that the increasingly confident use of the relatively new ' elevators' also fueled demand for
Brain-Based Learning Theory Learning does not only bring enlightenment to the weary souls but it also helps us learn, grow and be what we are potentially able to become. Therefore education plays a vital role in inculcating a sense of responsibility in children and to assist them in learning other highly important social skills.
