Multi-Level Teaching - Madness or Marvel?


It can be easily argued that any class is a multilevel class.  After all, are learners are individuals.  They all come with varied...
  • strengths/challenges in manipulating the content and language of the class
  • goals/reasons for being there in the first place
  • preferences/needs in regards to lesson delivery, participation, and interaction

The fact is teaching a multilevel class can be a maddening or marvelous experience.  A budding instructor might find the whole process bewildering and overwhelming.  After all, there are real challenges we face as teachers:

  1. How do I come up with a multi-level objective that supports all learners?
  2. How do I structure my lesson to account for the multi-levels in my classroom?
  3. How do I teach in a manner that engages all learners no matter what their proficiency level?
  4. How do I manage groups in a multi-level learning environment?
  5. How do I determine what the needs of my students are?
Let's unpack these challenges one by one to see if we can uncover strategies for

setting all students up for success in a multilevel class!
