What do you do when you have strong and weak students in the same class? How do you ensure that they are each challenged and engaged, and that they can be successful?
One successful technique that can be used is pairing them up with each other! The weak student will get the opportunity to learn and improve based on both their own practice and their exposure. The strong student will get to practice and use their knowledge to support the weaker student.
This tip is especially helpful for English Forward lessons during Step 6: Pair or Small Group Work. Strong and weak students working together can accomplish more than either can working alone.
