The teacher will create inclusive, supportive learning environments, provide individualized support, and use assessment tools to track progress.

  7. Provide individual reading and writing support to women who may need additional and more personalised support
  8. Recommend books and other resources that will help the women enhance their literacy skills
  9. Conduct regular assessments to monitor progress using TTF assessment tools
