Use strategic seating -
Since you can’t be everywhere at once, have your students help one another
by placing them in an effective seating arrangement.
Provide multiple levels of each activity.
Even if you’re teaching from a specific book or workbook, there are always
ways to expand an assignment to challenge the students who need it.
Teach the same concept several ways.
This is important in any class because there are many types of learning styles.
But this is especially important in a multi-level class so that no one is left
behind.
Play games.
Games are a great way to involve all levels of English learners. Even a game
geared towards beginners can give advanced students a chance to practice
speaking and listening. Plus, all students are more likely to learn when they’re
having fun!
Give personal attention.
While students are working on an assignment, make sure to go around and
interact with your students. Take a look at their work to make sure the
beginners are understanding it, and use the opportunity to challenge more
advanced students.

Keep your classroom organized. Don’t isolate them from others learners
In the classroom use have posters, pictures or diagram with bright colours in
order to accommodate learners with visual impairment
Remember that each child is an individual. Every special needs student is unique so
try to get to know your students as individuals instead of identifying them by their
diagnosis
14. Creating Classroom Rules Together so that you can all agree on them
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Respect other people and their property (e.g., no hitting, no stealing).
Laugh with anyone, but laugh at no one.
Be responsible for your own learning.
Come to class and hand in assignments on time.
Do not disturb people who are working.
15.
Be assertive when breaking up fights. If two elementary
school students are engaged in a fight, use a strong loud voice to
stop it. If that doesn't work, you might say
Respond calmly but firmly to an aggressive student. Speak
in a firm, no-nonsense manner to stop a student's aggressive
behavior; use physical restraint as a last resort
Consider giving the student a time out.
After the aggressive student cools down, talk with him
privately. Although he might expect you to react punitively,
surprise him by reacting supportively
Have the student apologize.
Have students who were involved in a conflict fill out a
behavior form. After the fighting students have calmed down,
have them complete a form describing what triggered the
conflict, how they behaved, and how they could have handled the
situation differently
