Description
This study is meant as an exploratory study to determine the extent to which multi-grade classrooms exist in school districts in Canada. Specifically, it obtains demographic information on multi-grade classrooms across Canada; describes the type (or classification) of grades and grade combinations in these schools; identifies the range of methodological procedures used and the instructional areas in which teachers need assistance; elicits the opinions of experienced teachers and principals on the psycho-social and cognitive development of students; and derives recommendations on curricula design, the organization of students for instructional purposes, the training of teachers for the multi-grade classroom, and needed research.
