Family Feedback Needed on Possible Multiage Changes

Why we are relooking at multiage at Ball Charter:

To explore the creation of different multiage combinations, which may be more developmentally appropriate for our students (i.e. 5th grade as elementary instead of middle school) and allow us to develop multiage across more levels (K/1) while also supporting and building other focus areas.

To provide an opportunity to be innovative in our approach to multiage education and at the same time continue to refine, build upon, and improve our literacy practices as we study/implement them (i.e. through professional learning and practical experience) at a new level or with a new combination of students.

To explore additional opportunities for teaching and assessment in our focus area of math, in light of various needs of math learners, increased math assessments, and new Common Core State Standards.
