Post: low students

Posted by Vicky on 1/08/08

    I teach in a multi-age class, and it seems that usually
    more of my older students are also my lower students
    (though there is definitely a mix) My school overlaps, so
    there is K-1, 1-2, 2-3, etc. This allows for mixing kids by
    ability a bit.

    My problem is mostly when it comes to small groups. I do
    small groups for reading, spelling and math. They are
    ability based, and not by age. I teach a 2/3 class, and
    actually have a 2nd grade math group, a 3rd grade, and an
    advanced 3rd grade. But my question is about the kids that
    fall high or low. If I have a 3rd grader doing 2nd grade
    math, and in 4th grade they do 3rd, and in 5th grade they
    do 4th--- then they graduate our school never having done
    5th grade math. However, we are MEETING the child where she
    is at as well as definitely giving the child challenging
    work at his or her ability. Sometimes they may catch up,
    but what if they don't?

    They leave the school behind... I guess this happens to
    kids in regular classrooms as well... but do you think it
    happens more in multiage? Also, what do you do to make sure
    they are exposed to the correct material?
