I work in a multi-age school that is made up of students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Multiage educational philosophy is that every child can learn and has the right to do so at their own pace, that learning is a continuum rather than a series of steps, that diversity is not only a reality but is something to be embraced, and that a classroom is a family of learners. By purposefully structuring a class to include a span of ages and to take advantage of the resulting diversity, students naturally become more accepting of one another's differences. There is an atmosphere of nurturing rather than one of competition in which children pressure one another to fit an arbitrary norm. I support each individual child as to their own complex set of needs rather than trying to lead a group of students to complete an age-based step.
