 The challenges faced during the teaching experience in the multiage setting at the small
community church in Los Baños, Laguna include:
 Lack of formal teaching training and experience.
 Insufficient instructional materials and lack of knowledge regarding teaching
approaches and strategies.
 Limited financial resources to produce materials needed for the class.
 Lack of support and recognition for the Sunday School for kids as a priority
within the community.
 Difficulty in finding volunteer replacements for other teaching positions,
resulting in the need to handle all classes every Sunday.
 Managing a wide age range of students, from 3.5 to 12 years old, in a single
classroom.
2. What do you think his/her takeaways in handling the kids?
 The takeaways in handling the kids include:
 Developing an understanding of the diverse needs and capabilities of students at
different age levels.

developmental stages of the students.

guardians.
3. Expand. “It provides students with stability and an ongoing relationship with a
teacher.”
 The statement “It provides students with stability and an ongoing relationship with a
teacher” implies that in a multiage setting, students have the opportunity to establish a
long-term and consistent connection with the same teacher over a period of time. This
continuity can contribute to a sense of stability and security for the students, fostering a
supportive and familiar learning environment that can positively impact their educational
experience.

All.
 Other government programs that uplift education to address Education for All include:

curriculum, and instructional materials.

prevent discouragement in educating students.

administrators.
