Every teacher has struggled with a mixed-ability class. That is, a class that is comprised of students of different levels of skill and competence. Some students learn fast, others learn slowly. Some students have a lot of knowledge, others seem to ignore the basic concepts. Teaching to the "average" leaves everybody unsatisfied: some will feel anxious because you are going too fast, some will get bored because you are going too slowly!
Even the age of students influence their performance. You will probably have students with one or two years of development differences, and that will show!
What to do about it? What approach can help us better serve these students? What tools can we use in class?
This short document will answer these questions and provide you with a clasroom-tested, easy to follow how-to designed to make your classes: 1) easier for you, 2) more effective for students, and 3) less stressful for everybody!
