Based on participants’ posts on the discussion board, the greatest barriers to implementing the curriculum were learner-content mismatch, lack of relevance in contexts and in content, difficulty in interpreting the lesson plans, attendance patterns and time constraints.

In most cases, these facilitators were strong enough to overcome the barriers listed above (Dr. Daniel A. Showalter, Chesie Wollet, Dr. Sharon Reynolds, 2015).
