No matter how deeply the modern technology is penetrating various industries including the education sector, the role of teachers will never be demised, in fact is only increasing with each passing day. Agreeably the focus on content areas is becoming less and less important due to the modern digital medium providing seamless access to information, but the intelligence of in-person teachers will never be replaced no matter how advanced and adaptive the learning process and models are created.

No matter what the mediums used and circumstances incurred, every student is subject to some sort of barrier that educators must understand and cater in order to elevate their performance.

As for this article, we’re going to discuss some silent, yet powerful factors that move beyond the technological, poverty, and literacy aspect and affects the learners’ performance in classrooms.

1. Student disorganization

It is not uncommon to see a number of students stepping in the classroom with huge bulk papers. Students bring unnecessary papers, hence resulting in their disorganization and unable to acquire quality ...
... learning. The point is to help them take notes of the subject material in a careful manner without overburdening themselves.

2. Poor or lack of response to information

Unsurprisingly, teachers have a hard time in extracting, evaluating and analyzing student data or regular basis, let alone responding to the data in a timely and relevant manner. Timely, purposeful and learner-centric responses are highly vital to facilitate a seamless learning process, hence better academic achievements.

Both the skills are absolutely necessary if you want to establish positive classroom environment and elevate the students’ performance.

5. Curriculum mapping issues

Your annual curriculum isn’t something that contained a number of strict requirements on to which you plan to teach the whole year, without incorporating any flexibility. Rather a well-thought curriculum is easily responsive and flexible in nature. It may not seem much, but an inappropriate curriculum developed many mistakes will take the teachers and the school management years to repair.
