LEARNERS FROM LOW INCOME
BACKGROUNDS
Learners from low-income homes are automatically at a
disadvantage. Materially, they often do not have the
means for the resources they need for basic classroom
functions.
They also often do not have the same academic support
as middle- or high-income peers and know less when they
arrive at school.
When parents are unable to provide for their children,
that responsibility then falls on the schools and teachers.
Stay positive.
As a teacher, you can :
• Arrange for the donation of gifts around the holidays
• Create study sessions after school to help with
academics
• Work with organizations to make sure the family is
getting all possible help.
Regardless of what you do, it’s best to be certain that a
poor child, who is often uncomfortable with their
situation, is treated with kindness and respect

LEARNERS FROM DIFFERENT
CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC
BACKGROUNDS
As teachers, we need to get to know
more about each learner. Learn
about their culture.
Invite learners to show the class
about their heritage ie: show-and-
tell, story-telling, food tasting,
dancing, etc. Doing this will likely
raise the self-esteem of learners
and generate greater respect from
their peers.
Encourage parents to participate in
their childs education. Advise
them to come often to school to
interact with the teacher.

HIGH ABILITY OR
HYPERACTIVE LEARNERS
Learners with attention-deficit-hyperactivity
disorder may have trouble adapting to the discipline
of the school day, but that doesn't mean they can't
tackle challenging academic work.
Learners need to be taught problem-solving
strategies.
Teachers should focus on learners strengths rather
than their disabilities
ADHD learners are more likely to tell more creative
stories so teachers should work with them and
encourage them to use their creativity
5
LEARNERS WITH DIVERSE
TALENTS
Design more than one method of learning
for learners
Recognize, respect, and reward creativity
Be sensitive to cultural differences
Understand and allow for different pacing
Learners need the opportunity to show
their talents and learn in ways that work
for them. Then they can be pushed to
learning in ways that do not come so
easily

LEARNERS WITH DISABILITIES
In order to create an inclusive classroom where all learners are
respected, it is important to use language that prioritizes the learner
over his or her disability. Disability labels can be stigmatizing and
perpetuate false stereotypes where learners who are disabled are not as
capable as their peers. In general, it is appropriate to reference the
disability only when it is pertinent to the situation. For instance, it is
better to say “The learner, who has a disability” rather than “The
disabled learner” because it places the importance on the learner,
rather than on the fact that the learner has a disability.
Disabilities can be temporary (such as a broken arm), relapsing and
remitting, or long-term.
Training and support are critical to ensuring every learner's needs are
met.
Teachers should review the needs of their learners with disabilities
prior to planning the week's lessons. Extra planning helps teachers
tailor their offerings to the learners needs.
Varying how you approach learning helps not only the special needs
learners in your class; it can benefit the standard learners as well. By
demonstrating that there is more than one way to solve a problem or
learn a concept, you are preparing learners for life beyond school,
where thinking outside the box can reap huge rewards.

LEARNERS WITH LEARNING
DISABILITIES
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING DISABILITIES AS A TEACHER, PROVIDING
THE BEST HELP TO CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DIFFICULTIES CAN BE CHALLENGING
THESE ARE SOME WAYS TOWARDS CREATING AN ALL-ROUND POSITIVE LEARNING
EXPERIENCE

CONCLUSION
We as teachers need to nurture learners and
expose them to a variety of learning styles,
despite our own preferences, enabling them to
become independent learners. Children are
less flexible and cannot easily adapt to
unfamiliar learning styles, so it is incumbent
upon the to adapt and modify teaching
methods, activities and environments in order
to create interest, thereby stimulate and
motivate a learners desire to learn.
