Managing the Multilevel Classroom
Lindsay Daniels, B.Kin., B.Ed., OCT
In this session, educators will explore the benefits and challenges of working with a multilevel class, which are particularly common in public education settings. We will explore strategies for choreography, technical development, classroom management, and how to ensure all students are challenged appropriately. Teachers will look at video examples, collaborate with colleagues, and leave with practical methods to incorporate into their pedagogy immediately, to ensure all students are engaged in class and their performances, meaningfully.
