Abstract

The history of education is replete with accounts of efforts by sensitive teachers and administrators to cope with the great range of individual differences. Approaches have included individual projects, tutoring on a one-to-one basis, programmed learning, team teaching, core and block programs, and a variety of organizational plans such as crossgrade grouping, continuous progress, non-graded classrooms, and multi-age classes. Organization and materials can only provide the environment and arrangements which enable a teacher to try to meet the educational needs of all the pupils in the class. What a teacher is and does remains the crucial variable as to which system survives and which system fails.
