In this blog, Dr Ashmeet Kaur introduces the reader to the Multi-grade and Multi-level Approach (MGML) as an educational method exemplary of teaching children by their strengths (and weaknesses) regardless of their age and grade.
Dr Kaur argues: “Embedded in decolonial thinking, MGML highlights how eurocentric learning systems remain incompatible with the interests and abilities of the marginalised and least advantaged learners and teachers especially in low-resource settings.” And:
“The MGML model is based on principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and acknowledges diversity in learning experiences wherein every student learns (at) and develops her own pace based on the learning ladder. The methodology by its design supports each learner (slow or fast paced) in becoming independent and goal-directed by choosing a path that is most appropriate for them, becoming a model for child-centric learning.”
