Review your role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher in terms of the teaching/training cycle.
A teacher is like an oil lamp on a post, if its flame is steady and bright, a hundred lamps can be lit by it, without in any way diminishing its brightness.

It is therefore vital to work with these learners to identify what they can do and use them as evidence to inform planning.
The physical environment from which these learners are coming from, play very important role in their learning. I create a welcoming learning environment where learners feel safe and supported where there is flexibility and friendly atmosphere, where individual needs and uniqueness are honoured, where abilities and life achievements are...
