unpaywalled: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;hve8f" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.is&#x2F;hve8f</a><p>&gt;Students — at all levels of performance, but especially our students who need the most support and for whom this model was intended to help most — aren’t having their needs met. In one of my multilevel classes, I received feedback that the lower-level students didn’t want to ask questions because they didn’t want to “look dumb,” and the higher-level students didn’t want to ask questions because they didn’t want their classmates to “feel dumb.” The result was a classroom that was far less dynamic than what I was typically able to cultivate.
