Teachability is a function of strategy

Every learner is able and teachable. The question of the non-teachability of certain students is a figment of imagination and therefore does not really exist. There is a need to set the record straight by dashing and exploding the myth of the existence of the unteachable lot in the classroom.

Teachability is more of a function of strategy (effective teaching practices) and depends less on the academic prowess of students. All students, naturally gifted or not, require a little push from behind. The teacher factor in the equation is critically important. Naturally talented or not, students have a teacher for a purpose.

The presence of a teacher is not a luxury but a necessity. Students who are subjected to an inspiring and rigorous instructional regimen are bound to make dramatic and significant gains in their learning undertaking. Teachability does not fall from the sky. It is made and orchestrated from the desk of a teacher with cooperation from the student and a little support from the parent. It is earned and achieved through hard work and unrelenting emphasis on classroom instruction.
