Roughly ten percent of elementary schools in California have a system whereby 4th to 6th graders share a common classroom and a single teacher (multi-age, multi-grade classroom). A. Suggest an experimental design that would allow you to assess the effect of learning in this environment. B. Mention some of the threats to internal and external validity and how you would attempt to circumvent these.

If you want to know the effect of a school district's cutting the size of its elementary school classes on its students' standardized test scores, what do you want to do? (Tips: hypothesis test;)

Data on fifth-grade test scores (reading and mathematics) for 420 school districts in California yield average score Y = 654.2 and standard deviation sy = 19.1. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean test score in the population. b. When the districts were divided into those with small classes (< 20 students per teacher) and those with large classes (>= 20 students per teacher), the following results were found: Class Size | Average Score (Y) | Standard Deviation (sy) | n Small | 657.4 | 19.4 | 238 Large | 650.0 | 17.9 | 182 Is there statistically significant evidence that the districts with smaller classes have higher average test scores? Explain.

You are teaching a fourth grade class that contains a diverse group of students that are at varying levels in development. Along with varying levels of development, two students are repeatedly disruptive in class, and some fail to participate in group work.What theories would you apply, as part of your instruction, to address the needs of these students? What steps might you take to address these issues?
