Small groups

HeadOfPrimary23 — 2023-09-05 08:26:44 UTC

Students are in smaller groups and have more time with their teacher. They will be able to work in groups with like minded peers - not just looking at their age.

Collaboration entre pairs

2023-09-05 17:54:16 UTC

Les élèves de différents niveaux d'âge ont l'occasion de collaborer et d'apprendre les uns des autres. Les plus jeunes peuvent bénéficier de l'expérience des plus âgés, tandis que ces derniers renforcent leur compréhension en expliquant des concepts aux plus jeunes.

Développement de l'empathie

2023-09-05 17:55:21 UTC

Les élèves dans une classe à double niveau apprennent à interagir avec des enfants plus jeunes et plus âgés, ce qui favorise le développement de compétences sociales et émotionnelles, notamment l'empathie et la tolérance.

Transition en douceur

2023-09-05 17:59:58 UTC

Les enfants qui restent dans une classe à double niveau pendant plusieurs années peuvent bénéficier d'une transition plus douce entre les niveaux scolaires, car ils sont déjà familiarisés avec leur enseignant et leur environnement.

Progression

Combined classes can allow students to progress academically at their own pace, rather than being limited by grade-level expectations.

More classes to stream

It allows teachers to make groups by language ability, maths ability, differentiate

Teamwork

jbeattie4 — 2023-09-06 08:18:36 UTC

A bigger team of teachers to plan, organise, share the workload and collaborate

Diversity

2023-09-06 16:42:33 UTC

Combined classes benefit both student levels in different ways. Similar to the social dynamics seen in families, younger children pick up on more developed social skills and knowledge from the older students. Older students assert responsibility over the younger students. Diversifying students, in age, also encourages tolerance and acceptance among peers.

Workshops

HeadOfPrimary23 — 2023-09-07 19:58:48 UTC

Students autonomy when working in combined classes, they learn to problem solve and build resilience.
