In reading the Case Study in Week ! - I realized that Clifford unlike some of the modern day facilitators does not observe their students. Facilitators must be observant. The teacher was a Geography teacher in a Secondary School in Kenya. Clifford was not observant and flexible but just teaching everyday and thought that all the students are learning and grasping what is being taught. As facilitators, we need to know each child and validate their conditions/circumstances.

In administering the test, Clifford realizes that the student Molly had difficulty which the tutor did not realized the full extent of her condition. Clifford then proceed in collecting books to see what was taking place there. The facilitator realizes that Molly's tasks were incomplete. I suspected that Clifford had missed the mark. I cannot believe that a facilitator was not observing the students daily and reviewing the tasks done daily or even weekly. It was quite alarming on Clifford's part but he quickly went into the intervention mode. The intervention started out by Clifford dialoguing with the student and put measures in place.

In classroom settings, we have different kinds of learner and this should be taken into account at all time. Clifford thought that she was having visual problems and had dialogue with her parents to take her to another school. All that took place before was excluded practices.

I am happy that Clifford realizes that inclusion was the way for Molly who had been enrolled at the school. Clifford had talks with her parents, other teachers who had dealt with her and friends to help in the process. Molly felt a sense of belonging, self esteem was raised and teacher was being more flexible and observant during the sessions. The facilitator changes the way the sessions are taught to include all the learners inclusive of Molly. Clifford had now done more planning and structuring his lessons to suit the needs of all the learners. Its now more gain than loss.
