Help needed with mixed level Jr high / high school class After my 1st semester, I still don't feel like I have a handle on anything! Here's my dilemma:
A 45-minute period each day with 9 students whose ages and levels are as follows: a 7th grade Beginner, an 8th grade near beginner, 2 8th graders that are high-intermediates to low-advanced, 2 9th graders who are low-advanced but with no interest in learning, an 11th grade advanced student who performs very low in the regular classrooms, and 2 11th graders who are between high-beginner and low-intermediate.
Help! I've tried grouping, but it's not going very well. How many different curriculums can I be expected to follow all at one time? I'm miserable and feel that I've not gotten anywhere with any of them. |
