THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC BUILDING SUPPORT FOR MULTIAGE EDUCATION Multiage education involves placing children of different ages, abilities, and emotional maturity in the same classroom. Students are frequently regrouped for different learning activities rather than being consistently segregated by chronological age, and they often remain with the same teacher or teaching team for more than one year. Many different labels have been applied to such classes, including "family grouping, blends, nongraded, and multiage continuous progress." Research indicates that heterogeneous grouping promotes cognitive and social growth, reduces antisocial behavior, and facilitates the use of research-based developmentally appropriate instructional practices such as active learning and integrated curriculum. The wider range of ages and abilities in a multiage classroom discourages misleading age-graded expectations and helps teachers focus on students' individual learning needs.

Extractions: Recent Education Stories from CNN News. When my son was in the 7th grade and the KERA (Kentucky Education Reform Act) had just passed the state legislature, I realized that he was getting a less than adequate education. As a result I spent most of my spare time in the next two years applying my systems analysis skills to analyzing the local school system. I produced about 75 pages of reports. I gave copies of many of these reports to local school officials, parents, and citizens. I mailed copies of the entire set to each member of the State School Board and to the office of the Kentucky Education Commissioner. I got very little response locally and no response at the state level. I am making the entire set of papers available here.

Extractions: Break New Ground When teachers at Fairdale High School in Kentucky became concerned about a 14-year-old girl (whom we'll call Wanda), they turned to the school's new Youth Services Center. The center is one of 37 new school-based social service centers in the Louisville area, and one of 373 Family Resource and Youth Service Centers statewide created by the comprehensive 1990 Kentucky Education Reform Act. Wanda is a bright girl with a young child. She lives with her mother, more than 10 miles from school. At this crisis point, Wanda's home was filled with tension. She regularly left the house with her child late at night against her mother's wishes. Then she came home too tired to catch the school bus the next day for the long ride to Fairdale. Concerned about Wanda's severe attendance problemseven though Fairdale has a program specially designed for young parents, male and femalethe school wanted to intervene before they lost her. Concerned Intervention Dan Clemons, Fairdale's Youth Services Center coordinator, convinced Wanda and her mother to come in for some meetings. He arranged ongoing psychotherapy for the distressed young woman. During the course of their conversations, the therapist discovered that Wanda was a victim of sexual abuse from within the family.
