Managing a Multi-Leveled Classroom

One of the greatest challenges teachers face is managing a class of students who are at different places academically. Nowhere is learner diversity greater than in the adult literacy classroom where instructors might have students who are just learning to read and students who are within days of earning a high school equivalency credential. This session will focus on strategies to manage students who are at different levels, and maintain your sanity. While strategies may be useful for educators in multiple settings, this session is designed for adult educators.
