Class Size : USA : Nat.Education Association
http://www.nea.org/classsize/ While many education reform proposals remain controversial, reducing class size to allow for more individualized attention for students is strongly supported by parents, teachers and education researchers. NEA supports a class size of 15 students in regular programs and even smaller in programs for students with exceptional needs. Teachers with small classes can spend time and energy helping each child succeed. Smaller classes also enhance safety, discipline and order in the classroom. When qualified teachers teach smaller classes in modern schools, kids learn more. It's common sense, and the research proves it works to increase student achievement. |

Educational Leadership Feb 2002
http://www.ascd.org/framebulletin.html Seems like common sense, doesn't it? The smaller the class or school, the more individual attention the students will get, and the more they will achieve. Seems like a truism, if there ever was one. The February 2002 issue of Educational Leadership(EL) explores this issue, asking questions such as: Does educational research support the relationship between small class and school size and high achievement? For what grade levels? For which students? How much will this cost? Who can afford it? Are there creative alternatives, innovations? Are there debates raging? Where do I stand? What should my school (state, district, region, country) do? The following Web sites may help you sort it all out—then go fund-raising. Class size | School Size | |
