Becky Marine is a special education teacher she primarily addressed how we as teachers can reach students with differing ability levels.  She suggested that as teachers we consider how we can lower the playing field for our students so that each student can reach the goals appropriate to their ability level. 

The idea that I found most helpful from her was using advanced art students to help students with a lower ability.  This would allow me as a teacher to address the needs of the class while still ensuring that students who are struggling are getting the one on one help that they need.
