As schools struggle to teach all students, the multi-age teaching
and learning framework has emerged as one of today's most effective
ways to structure schools. Multi-age Learning Community (MAC)
Program is a professional development program in action. It
presents a framework that can transform schools from a graded
system to a multi-age learning environment. This multi-age school
targets students' individual and personal needs and allows students
to excel and succeed. The school reform climate today focuses on
schools of choice and building effective school environments. This
multi-age program creates a unique school niche that is marketable
to families. Parents have the option of sending their children to
schools that concentrate on achievement that best meets the needs
of the learner without disrupting the mandates of the curricula.
This book is intended to assist educators at all levels of all
school organizations, as well as give policymakers, educators and
parents the information on an effective school program. This book
gives information on how to transform schools into multi-age
classrooms. This book is divided into four parts that explain both
the theory and the practice of effective strategies for the
multi-age school program: Organizational Practice, Building
Culture, Learning Processes, and Assessment and Systemic
Improvement. There are specific basic principles and practices that
are integrated into a quality and effective framework discussed in
the chapters of this book. Each chapter begins with a vignette
based on my experiences in multiage schools and concludes with an
educator's reflection to recap the concepts in the chapter. Each
chapter also integrates snapshots that are short real-to-life
passages that bring to life concepts discussed in the chapter.
Although this book discusses multi-age schools, these ideas may be
applied to all school environments. To accommodate all school
programs, at the end of each chapter, a section titled Application
for All Schools is a framework that discusses just how to apply
chapter concepts in any school or classroom program. It is
recommended that the reader review the book one time in sequence
and then reread each chapter as needed, to give meaning to the
reader's purpose.
