Explanation:
Kelime anlamı olarak destek doğru, ancak bu tarz ifadelerde "crutch" (koltuk değneği), "fazla medet umulan destek" anlamında kullanılıyor. Örneğin sorunlarının kökenine inmek yerine tesellinin alkolde arandığı durumlarda "alcohol is a crutch" deniyor.

Bu alıntıda da gördüğüm kadarıyla benzeri bir durum sözkonusu. O nedenle "eğitmenler bu slaytlara güvenip düzgün bir şekilde [ders vermeye] hazırlanmayabilirler" dendiğini düşünüyorum.
