Cecília Lemos HarmerGUEST
What are your thoughts, Cecilia? I think when we talk about large classes and mixed ability, one thing that I always like to reflect on is that classes have always been mixed ability because students have mixed abilities.

Cecília Lemos HarmerGUEST
And teaching and learning shouldn't be about trying to get everyone to the same point at the same time.

Cecília Lemos HarmerGUEST
People learn at different speeds and it depends on the topic sometimes or it depends on the time.

Cecília Lemos HarmerGUEST
And it's not about getting all of them to the same point at the same time, but rather making sure that everybody is moving away from the point they started at a constant pace.
