    Re: K-1 Combo Class

    Posted on 7/18/09

    I will be teaching a K-1 class next year and I am looking for any
    suggestions on curriculum management. I would love to see some
    "sample" schedules and set ups! I have also been told that they
    would be glad to send me to a workshop or conference on multi-age
    classrooms but I do not see much out there. Any ideas on this? I
    would also like a list of experts that I could be looking to for
    assistance- books, speakers, etc. It seems so much of the
    information in print is 10 years old or more. Who/what are the
    more current gurus for multiage grouping?
    Thanks for any input!
