Ideas for Mixed Ability Classes In this seminar we will explore the challenges teachers face when teaching classes with mixed learning abilities. We will look at why classes have mixed abilities and at activities that can help the teacher find a balance to keep the strongest and the weakest students on board, addressing the needs of a wide range of learner abilities, sensory learning styles and special educational needs.
