Thank you all for your great contributions to the week 3  forum.

 From your discussions, the following points are revealed:

1.Active teaching approaches to any cadre of learners involves having a variety of well-planned activities that offer learners wider choices of engagement depending on their unique abilities and needs.

2.Large classes, poor learning behavior, special learning difficulties, and difficult home environments constitute major inclusivity challenges in education.

3. Every teacher has or will at any one particular time encounter learners with special needs in the mainstream classroom. Consequently, the teacher needs to be observant and keen to identify such learners, and be flexible in changing his /her teaching styles and approaches to accommodate the concerned learners and raise their self-esteem.

4.The most difficult aspects of active teaching to define are critical thinking and assessment of learners’ levels of engagement.
