I. GRADING
Attend a class several times until you come to know something of each individual member; then form a judgment as to the desirability of holding the group together. Suggest changes such as the putting forward or putting back of certain individuals.
1. Are the students alike in their physical development, or are some oversized?
2. Are the mental differences parallel with the physical?
3. Do you observe symptoms showing that some children frequently do not understand the class work and therefore are to be regarded as below the grade?
4. Do you see evidences that children are not fully occupied because the work is too easy for them?
5. Children differ in their willingness and ability to take part in class work. How far should this be considered in grouping children?
6. How far does the grouping of students in a class help or hinder the development of an individual? Give definite cases.
7. Should the class be changed in size to provide for the best teaching?
8. In certain schools the effort is now being made to organize more individual instruction. What do your observations lead you to conclude about the desirability of such a plan?
