Mixed ability teaching was the subject of a lively debate in the
early 1980s within the teaching profession. Some educationalists
took the view that mixed ability teaching was a great step forward
which should be encouraged at all costs, whilst other strongly
disagreed. Others whilst acknowledging that mixed ability teaching
is a good idea, were against it, pointing to the many practical
difficulties which face a teacher teaching to a mixed ability
class. Originally published in 1982, this book provides a
comprehensive survey of the issues involved, offering a range of
approaches to the issue of whether and how to group children for
mixed ability teaching. The aim is to help students and teachers to
look more dispassionately at the topic and, in the process, to
explore their own reactions and attitudes. The book considers the
methods that should be employed in mixed ability teaching,
examining the different strategies that need to be adopted for
different subjects, and exploring the special position of
exceptional children, both slow learners and gifted in a mixed
ability class. At all times the book avoids over-technical language
and is written at a level that will make it readily accessible to
teachers and trainee teachers. It will be particularly effective
where debate is still in progress: school staffs who are
considering whether to change to mixed ability; students discussing
the issues in a seminar; and as a starting point for in-service
training. Providing many useful insights that will enable teachers
to cope better with mixed ability classes, the book concludes by
considering how mixed ability teaching will develop in the future.
Today it can be read in its historical context.
