When evaluation results indicate that only few pupils are unable to get the desired level of performance, this group of pupils should form the cluster who will receive special focus/attention during the remedial instruction period. 5. After each remedial lesson, the teacher should measure the degree of the learning progress attained through tests. Results should be properly and diligently recorded to keep track and quantify the gains earned in the process. 6. Remedial instruction is a continuous task.
