One of the many challenges facing teachers who supply learning assistance in urban, economically challenged areas is the lack of primary school teaching resources. In many of these areas, resources are few, citing limited funding, lack of internet availability, financially-strapped public libraries closing and a host of similar, yet nonetheless saddening, situations. What, then, does a primary school educator have to focus on for improvement of lesson planning and information dissemination?
If you are like many of today’s struggling, “do-whatever-is-necessary” education professionals, you may be a bit disheartened by the lack of options, when it comes to gathering information. Fear not! Remember that the greatest source of educational material is still the art of interpersonal communication. Life, as it has been said, is still the greatest of teachers. Remembering that, you will be able to tap into this great resource and use your ingenuity for the benefit of your students.
