Small Class FindingsThe data from the American Educational Research Association's annual meeting shows that small classes are more engaging places for students because they're able to have a more personal connection with the teachers. Teachers spend more time on direct instruction and less on classroom management.
Students in small classes are high achievers, have high attendance rates, strong discipline, positive standards of behavior, and school pride |
