1.4 Explain why it is important to identify and meet individual learner needs.
It is important to identify and meet each individual learners needs by finding out much as you can about each student in a pre course diversity assessment. As each class brings new students that I will not have met before a pre course diversity assessment is the ideal way to assess each students needs before they attend the class.
