Promoting Success in the Multilevel Classroom

Can you bridge the differences between the strongest and weakest English language learners in your classes?  How do you address the needs of all of the learners in a multilevel class?

The facilitator provides information about the causes, challenges, and advantages of providing instruction in multilevel classes. Participants identify and select or develop level-appropriate needs assessments for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students and learn strategies and develop lesson plans for use in a multilevel classroom. As an assignment, they develop an action plan for working in a multilevel classroom and then share their action plan and successes they have seen (if they have implemented it). They develop interactive activities, grouping strategies, individualized learning strategies, and assessment techniques for use in multilevel classes.

Goal: 
Participants develop knowledge and skills to plan and implement multilevel instruction.

Expected outcomes:

  • Select or develop needs assessments for use in multilevel classes.
  • Integrate activities for multilevel classes into lesson planning.
  • Select or develop assessments for use in multilevel classes.
