Monica Poulter explained how teachers can support mixed ability classes as learners move back to the classroom in her session at the Cambridge Live Experience.

Monica Poulter discussed these challenges with other English teachers at the Cambridge Live Experience, an event organised to help teachers get ready for the unpredictable months ahead.
