    Teachers face the challenge of helping slow learners succeed in school. Slow learners learn at a slower pace than average students and need more time and resources to grasp new concepts. It is the teacher's responsibility to understand each student's abilities and interests, and develop individualized teaching plans tailored to their needs. By building confidence in slow learners and providing encouragement, teachers can help bring out their hidden skills and boost their performance.

    Role of Teachers on Helping Slow Learners

    to Bring Out Their Hidden Skills

    Teaching is a challenging profession that requires a lot of patience, innovation and


    motivation from the teachers in order to bring about an all-round development among their
    students. Inside the classroom there will be a mixed section of learners based on their level of
    intelligence and performance criteria. It is among these learners, there will be some who cannot
    cope up with the lessons taught inside the classroom as their peers do and hence these
    learners are tagged as the slow learners. Hence here comes the greatest challenge for a good
    teacher to guide and help the slow learners improve in fetching good grades and come out with
    flying colors. A good student can always get good grades on his own merits which require very
    little effort on the teacher’s part. But to help a slow learner fetch a good and suitable grade is a
    challenge that marks the qualities of a good teacher. Since, being a teacher faces such
    problems inside the classroom and some ways should be adopted in order to help a slow
    learner achieve good grades and graduate successfully.

    Slow learning is not a learning disability that can be classified as a diagnostic category.
    It is simply a term used to describe a student with the ability to acquire all necessary academic
    skills, but at a rate and depth below that of the average student. In order to grasp new
    concepts, a slow learner needs more time, more repetition, and often, more resources from
    teachers to be successful. Reasoning skills are typically delayed, which makes new concepts
    difficult to grasp.

    In today’s world, unfortunately, ‘learning’ has become a one-size-fits-all process that is


    not tailored to suit a person’s abilities. This conformation of learning is especially true of our
    conventional school systems. The problem, however, is that not all children can adapt to such a
    rigid style of learning. Some children just cannot cope with the fast-paced and rigid approach
    that is characteristic of conventional teaching. Due to this, a gap forms between their true
    ability and their performance level and such children are then dubbed ‘Slow Learners’.

    Slow-learners are not averse to learning, and have no limitations for learning, but in fact
    have their own psychology for learning. Hence the challenge for the parents or guardians or
    teachers is to understand the student’s areas of interests and develop a teaching plan to cover
    syllabus in a given timeframe. Slow learners are very sensitive and self-conscious as they are
    very well aware of their weakness in comparison with the fast learners.

    The first responsibility of the teacher is to build up confidence among these learners and
    make them believe that they are no less than others. Encouraging words and phrases may
    bring about a positive impact on the slow learners and will boost them to perform better.
