ED 363 - Issues in Multi-Grade Education for the International Educator

Institution:

Park University

Subject:

Description:

?ultiage Education: An Introduction" provides an introduction to the history, theory, and practice of multiage education world-wide and then applies this knowledge to local contexts. The course traces the development of educators' interest in the pedagogical potential and possibilities of learning environments in which students of different age levels are grouped for instruction. Students will have the opportunity to examine the growing body of multiage research and literature (local, national, international), as well as theoretical perspectives on how children learn and develop which lend support to multiage learning environments. Practical ideas for implementing a multiage classroom environment, curriculum, strategies, and assessment will be explored. The course is intended to meet the needs of educators who work in both remote and urban areas and whose interests in classrooms with multiple grade levels may be prompted by having to make the best of an imposed situation or having embraced the concept of multiage (or multi-grade) for its educational potential. 3:0:3
