Task 1 See difficulties in learning not as deficits in learners but as professional
challenges for us as teachers.
Task 1: Teacher’s Question
“Are my learners struggling to learn, or am I struggling to teach?”
Introduction
The reflective question posed in the image—"Are my learners struggling to learn or am I
struggling to teach?"—invites critical interrogation of teaching and learning processes. It
challenges educators to reconsider whether learner difficulties stem from inherent
deficits or from limitations in pedagogy, classroom practices, and systemic conditions.
By framing difficulties as professional challenges rather than learner shortcomings, this
question disrupts deficit thinking and demands a commitment to inclusive, adaptive, and
reflective teaching.
