What are the implications of individual differences to the teacher in the classroom?

Answers

I. For effective learning to be promoted, it is important for teachers to identify the individual differences of learners and to organize the learning environment to cater adequately for these differences e.g. moving a visually impaired student closer to the chalkboard.
II. A teacher can encourage group work
Group work can be used as an approach to learning in order to cater for the strengths and weaknesses of individual groups of learners. Group work also assists learners to share, and learn virtues not emphasized in the formal curriculum.
III. Content can be adapted to suit individual differences by using strategies useful in capturing and sustaining the attention span and interests of learners.
IV. The teacher organizes the classroom environment through the use of a variety of visual and non-visual instructional aids in order to cater for the diverse background of the learners.
