Multiage Learning In a multiage classroom, students of different interests and abilities can work together to share their talents, encourage their classmates and stretch themselves in new directions. Younger students can look upon older students to see what their future might entail. Older students can better understand their own ideas by sharing them with younger students. That does not mean that older students will spend all their time helping younger students, nor does it mean that younger students will be pushed beyond their own ability. It means that students of different abilities will interact together to benefit from each other. A multiage classroom is more representative of real life and how people interact. Families have children who are younger and older. Businesses have employees who are novices and experts. These differences are not seen as deficits but as assets. The same is true for the multiage classroom. Our differences, our prior knowledge and our individual passions all contribute to a rich and enjoyable learning environment |
