Multi-age Learning at Edopia

Multi-age grouping is just one of the devices used to organise classrooms at Edopia. It is the deliberate mixing of children from various age groups of more than one year in the one class.
Research has highlighted the benefits for both teachers and children when learning and teaching in a multi-age classroom. Benefits include more holistic, child-responsive curriculum practices that consider the understandings, capabilities and dispositions that children need for future work, e.g. working in diverse environments that seek workers who are multi-skilled, literate, cooperative, creative, adaptable, independent and resourceful.
