Students come to the classroom with a range of abilities, experiences, and backgrounds. Some students will have special needs and disabilities, while others will have additional learning needs and/or elements of educational disadvantage which are not formally recognized.Disadvantaged Learner - The socially disadvantaged child is one who is from a socially and economically backward section of the community, who cannot profit from school because of deprivation of one sort or another.Deprived Learner - The term 'underprivileged' refers to the disadvantaged section of people who are economically, socially, and vocationally in an unfavorable situation compared to the rest of the population of the society. To address the learners from disadvantaged and deprived groups, a teacher should form collaborative groups that use group diversity for enhancing learning. In a collaborative group, learners can converse with peers, present and defend ideas, exchange diverse beliefs, question other conceptual frameworks, and be actively engaged.Consideration of diversity helps in the inclusion of learners from disadvantaged and deprived groups and makes them feel a sense of belongingness. Diverse methods such as oral reading, recitation, group work, role-play, and peer- learning can be effective in the case of these learners.Teachers should also use a curriculum based on local culture and language to help 'disadvantaged' and 'deprived' learners to be aware of different cultures and languages which enhances learning effectively.Hence, it is clear that for learners from disadvantaged and deprived communities, a teacher should form collaborative groups that use group diversity for enhancing learning.
