MR / Schenectady, NY / .Yates Arts in Education Magnet School / urban public elementary school / Grade 5.Teacher (first year, non-tenured teacher) asks questions as class reviews completed reading workbook page done during independent work time. 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..© Ellen B. Senisi
