Here are some strategies that can be used to address the challenges you mentioned:
  1. Poor learning behaviours: Teachers can use positive reinforcement and behavior management strategies to address poor learning behaviors. This may involve setting clear expectations, providing consistent consequences, and using positive reinforcement to encourage positive behaviors. 
  2. Hearing impairment: Teachers can use assistive technology, such as hearing aids or FM systems, to support students with hearing impairments. They can also provide additional support and accommodations, such as captioned videos and transcripts, to ensure that students with hearing impairments have access to the same learning materials as their peers. 
  3. Visual impairment: Teachers can use assistive technology, such as screen readers and magnification software, to support students with visual impairments. They can also provide additional support and accommodations, such as large print materials and Braille resources, to ensure that students with visual impairments have access to the same learning materials as their peers.
Overall, addressing inclusivity challenges in the classroom requires a commitment to creating a culture of inclusivity and respect, and a willingness to work collaboratively with teachers, students, parents, and the broader community to provide support and resources to all students.
