How are the students identified?

The teacher needs to identify the students who need
remedial work. Firstly, identify the students from
their learning behaviour in class, for example, their
response throughout the lesson especially the
response to the activities and work assigned
throughout the lesson. If they consistently show lack
of understanding in the lesson taught then they
should be identified for remedial work.
