Tech Transformation: Thinking about multi-age classrooms

During the time I visited my new school last month, I was able to attend an R&D presentation about multi-age classrooms. I've been interested in this idea for a long time, having lived in Holland where the Jenaplan schools are organized into multi-age homeroom groups because of a philosophy of valuing the differences between people - Jenaplan schools therefore try to group students into classes that have a diversity of maturity levels, intellectual achievement, interests and social backgrounds so that the students can learn to live and work together in different groups.
