CHALLENGES IN TEACHING
MULTIGRADE
1. Taking advantage
of diversity within
and between groups.
STRATEGIES IN MAKING THESE CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Classroom Management
Disciplining students can create
meaningful experience in the
classroom setting.
The teachers should be
knowledgeable enough to handle
kids by let them aware that they have
differences and they are unique. If
the teacher can control the situation
in the classroom, active learning will
follow.
2. Balancing time
and multi-tasking.
Flexibility of the Teacher and
Integrating Technology
Multigrade Teachers should be
flexible and equipped with the
knowledge of using various
strategies.
Using technology is also a tool
and flexible in classroom
setting because it helps to save
time in preparing some
activities.
3. Engaging your
students and
keeping them
focused on learning.
Collaborative Learning and Using
Differentiated Instruction
In this strategy, the pupils
are engaged in different activities
that are suited to their knowledge,
ability and skills that teacher
imparted. Through this, students
are able to understand the
materials and direct their attention
to the details.
4. Breaking your
isolation as a
multigrade teacher.
Building a Strong Rapport to the
Co-teachers.
Creating a good relationship
in the school is a must to the
teachers. I believe that we can
achieve a particular goal if we have
the same interest and effort in
achieving it. Through this, we can
work meaningfully and cannot feel
being isolate from co-teachers since
friendship has already built.
