Introduction
The main objective of many schools is to ensure that learners perform well in their studies for them to attain success in life. This is a task that requires all schools to have set curriculum which make it possible for the determination of the progress of the learners in their studies.
However, my school has no set curriculum that shows true learning progress for the learners. The current need in my educational setting is providing adequate resources to our students such as student workbooks, proper classroom materials to support lessons and materials for activities. It is important to provide adequate resources for our students to ensure that they learn well.
Body
There are various methods that can be used to identify specific needs for learners in an educational setting. The method used to identify the needs of learners in this study is conducting an evaluation of their academic performance. Through such an evaluation, it is possible to identify the areas that the learners show weak performance and find ways of improving it (Good and Brophy, 2008).
In this study, the performance of the learners is analyzed in relation to the learning resources they already have. For instance, the performance of learners who do not have all the required resources is compared with that of other learners who have the required resources to determine the extent to which availability of resources affects the performance of the learners.
It is important to identify this need and address it fully because unless the need to provide adequate resources for learners is identified and addressed in the right manner, it is not possible for them to attain the expected performance. This ensures that the school administration puts the right strategies in place that assist the learners to get the quality education they are supposed to get.
There are various ways of addressing the needs of learners identified in this study. The first method of ensuring that this is achieved is by putting in place a well equipped library where learners can access the materials they require in order for them to perform well in their studies. This is an effective way of addressing their needs since they can access the library at their own convenience.
The second method of addressing the needs is by partnering with organizations that support education in order to acquire materials that are necessary for proper classroom instruction.
Classroom instruction is an important tool that should be utilized in the right manner to ensure that the learners achieve the desired results. In situations where there are no adequate materials for classroom instruction, the performance of the learners definitely goes down.
It is important to address the frameworks of motivation, management, instruction and assessment in the action plan. Motivation is important for learners since it ensures that they work harder towards achieving the best results they can achieve. Some of the methods of motivating learners include giving them rewards after good performance and complementing their good work.
Management involves ensuring that the learners do what they are supposed to do without failure. This is achieved through monitoring them very closely. Instruction is achieved through the teachers who deliver the knowledge learners are supposed to acquire in class. Finally, assessment is important and is achieved through class examinations (Farrell, 2003).
Conclusion
It is important to ensure that learners get the resources they require for them to perform well in their studies. Learners who are supplied with the necessary resources exhibit good class performance as opposed to those who lack the resources.
