Multi-Level+Classes

**//What techniques have you found useful or effective for teaching students in a multi-level class while maintaining community in your class and at the same time accommodating the needs of all your students? Please share strategies, lesson plans, //****//materials... anything! //** 
 * //Almost every ESL class -- even those in which students have tested into a level -- is multi-level in some respect, while many of us teach multi-level classes in which students' English language abilities run the gamet from pre-literacy to advanced. //**

See the TESOL Online Seminar (90 min) on ML Classes with segments on Planning and Organizing Instruction, Managing Groups and Assessment by Jayme Adelson-Goldstein and Sylvia Ramirez. The recorded version will be available free to TESOL members via the Teachers' Resource Center on the TESOL Web site soon.

See CALPRO Virtual Workroom for Multilevel Teachers, at @http://calpro-online.org/VirtualWorkroom/. It has a lot of resources, and adult educators working for California adult ed agencies can also join its associated electronic Community of Practice--which provides more resources as well as the ability to have an ongoing exchange of ideas on ML instruction with mentors and practitioners in CA.
