Teaching is one of the most demanding
professions. Teachers are constantly
working to juggle all their tasks of
educating students, managing behavior,
completing administrative tasks, and
more.

The significant contributions of the

teachers in life of the learners are
undeniable. They have all the challenges
they are facing inside the classrooms.

teaching such responsibility is one
of the greatest challenges
for advisers.
Challenges in Learner-centered
Teaching
• Designs of the classrooms are not appropriate design for
the learner- centered teaching methods.

• Some teachers are in a rush to implement the approach

without a thorough understanding of the principles and a
careful plan of teaching.
• Teachers must try to manage all learners' activities at
once, which can be challenging when learners are working
on different stages of the identical project.

• Because the teacher does not deliver instructions to all

learners at once, some learners may miss vital facts.

• Some learners choose to work alone; thus group work

can become challenging
 6 Key Learner-Centered Instructional Strategies:

1.Support Student Voice and Choice

2. Provide Differentiation
3. Foster Collaboration
4. Engage Students in Active or Constructivist Learning

• It is also important to be careful in identifying a student
as special learner.
• Teachers need to carefully observe their student’s
behavior, abilities, and characteristics.
• Providing the needs of special education learners will
certainly be one of the greatest challenges of every
teacher.
• A special education teacher needs to have deep
devotion, commitment, and passion to teach special
learners.
