MR / Schenectady, NY / .Yates Arts in Education Magnet School / urban public elementary school / Grade 5.Teacher (first year, non-tenured teacher) stamps completed, corrected workbook page after independent work time (Boy foreground: 11, Puerto-Rican American). The reading program  takes a mixed approach to a basic education debate: ability grouping versus whole-class grouping.  Some of the students' reading time is spent in whole-class lessons and the rest is spent working independently or else in small groups.  These flexible arrangements allow higher-achieving students to extend their knowledge and be challenged while lower-achieving students can reinforce basic skills.  .MR: AD-g5a Alt1 Tir1..© Ellen B.
