    • multi-age grouping offers ample
      opportunity for each child to be a leader and a follower, she
      says. According to Mycock, children in these groups are
      responsible, relaxed, interested, confident, full of zest; they
      have good work attitudes and high aspirations. Teachers seem to
      develop a greater sense of rapport with their pupils. Stress is
      minimized.
    • Stehney (1970) sees multi-age grouping as
      helping children gain self-confidence by providing opportunities
      for success.

  • Critical Issue: Enhancing Learning Through Multiage Grouping on 2009-09-10
    • Multiage education has benefits for a wide range of children. Although
      multiage grouping is commonly implemented at the preschool and primary
      levels, it also is appropriate at the intermediate, middle school, and
      junior high levels. The National Middle School Association (1997) has identified
      multiage grouping, cooperative learning, heterogeneous grouping, developmentally
      appropriate learning tasks, cross-age tutoring, flexible scheduling, and
      positive evaluations as important instructional strategies for older children.
      Multiage grouping also is beneficial for gifted and special-needs students
      (Nye, 1993). Gifted children are challenged to achieve to their potential
      because there is no limitation of a grade-level curriculum. Special-needs
      children in mixed-aged grouping typically find that their individual
      differences are accepted and their contributions are recognized. In addition,
      at-risk children and children for whom English is a second language also
      are likely to benefit from the multiage classroom. Mixed-age grouping may
      be a lifeline to
      children at risk because it encourages self-respect and creates a learning
      environment that keeps students involved and motivated. Children whose
      primary language is other than English typically receive special support
      and assistance from their multiage classmates (Grant, 1993).
