Abstract

Throughout the history of American Education, landmarks of organizational change are evident; When the graded elementary school came into being a little over one hundred years ago, this innovation was considered the organizational framework for education. Goodlad and Anderson tell us that "when the Quincy Grammar School opened its doors to pupils in 1842, certain enthusiastic citizens predicted its new organization would set the pattern for fifty years to come." "In the decade of the 195o•s, activities concerned with changing the graded educational organization of the elementary school were observed. Intensive activities and experimentation have been challenging the concept and organization of the graded school and its attendant creation, the self-contained classroom.
