Multi-Age Teaming: A Real-Life Approach to the Middle School.

Hopping, Linda

Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n4 p270-72 Dec 2000

The multi-age teams (MATs) at one Georgia middle school fostered continuous, individual student progress unachievable in more conventional classrooms. In MAT groups, assignments to classes were based on students' interests, abilities, performance, and other maturational factors, regardless of chronological age. Opportunities for remediation and acceleration abounded. (MLH)
