Teaching in a composite class occurs with whole class, group and individual activities. Often a topic is presented to the whole class, with further teaching to groups and individuals. Teachers also offer different ‘entry’ or ‘extension’ points for students and allow for the students who catch on quickly, those who are poorly organised and those who need things explained in stages. These groups exist in every class – there is no such thing as a class all at the same level – in any one class there are students working within a range of five year levels – teaching in every class is based on the needs of the students.

The most common fear for parents is that their child will fall behind - that the teacher’s attention will be split and that they’ll get overall less learning time with their teacher. The research does not agree. Multiple studies conclude that it makes no difference to performance whether students are in a straight or a composite class – the most important factor in determining how well a student does is quality of the teaching.
