Academically challenged are children with learningdifficulties. They fail to learn at the same rate as the majorityof other pupils learn. They also lag to learn, in academicsetting, what teachers feel they should learn. These childrenare lagging behind in learning the basic skills required oftheir grade level. These deficiencies are compounded as they

move up the educational ladder and compounded too aretheir frustrations in life so they become prone to behaviorproblems in our classes. Others become at-risk of droppingout from the formal stream of education.

I. Introduction


3/10

As teachers, we may have encountered academicallychallenged in a class or may have had the entire class inwhich they are grouped accordingly. In any case, thesechildren must be treated with respect to be able to acceptlearning from us. Let us remember that there is no suchthing as competence without love.

Many schools have instituted remedial measures tohelp the academically challenged. Among them are:

1. Pull-out Program

2. Peer tutoring (Each one, Teach one)

3. Class I, Class II

4. Self-contained classes for academicallychallenged.

The Self-Paced Learners Program(SPL) was

conceptualized by the SPED Unit, Elementary EducationDivision, Region out of felt need to assist the children withlearning difficulties. It is an acquisition of learning throughspecial program designed to help non-readers andacademically challenged afford the regular schoolprogramming with sufficient opportunities to gaincomplete mastery of the fundamental academic skills attheir own pace. The pupils are not rushed into assimilating

the Philippine Elementary Learning Competencies (PELC)in their respective grade levels since they are exemptedfrom taking the regular achievement tests given at the endof the school year.
