Multilevel classes are a reality of just about every adult education and English language program and should not be considered a deterrent to providing rigorous instruction for all students. In this session, we explore a systematic approach to differentiating instruction in both online and in-person environments to provide an optimal learning environment for everyone. You will see how to vary content, instructional processes, and products or assessments of learning outcomes to assure success for learners with varying backgrounds, levels, and needs. You will explore ways to help all learners access the complex texts and rigorous activities in your classes.  We provide examples for English learners at beginning through advanced levels, as well as for those whose first language is English. Discussions will include participants’ application of this approach to their settings.
