Roles of a

Multigrade Teacher
A multigrade teacher plays various roles as
she/he performs the tasks in handling students
with varied age level, developmental stages
and interests (Mathot, 2001).

The roles of a multigrade teacher are uniquely

different from a monograde teacher.
 RESEARCHER

The teacher has to know the needs of the

community and must conduct studies on
strategies and techniques that promote
engagement and achievement in learning.
 FACILITATOR
• The teacher should be familiar with his or her
pupils and their experience to be able to effectively
facilitate the class.
• Most teachers take on an important role in the local
community because of their experience, status and
obligation.
 COMMUNITY LIAISON/
RESOURCE PERSONS
In order to enhance the quality of the
educational services offered by multigrade
schools, support and assistance from the
local community is required.
SOCIAL WORKER/COUNSELOR
Teacher also acts as a social worker or counselor to the
students and the community

EVALUATOR
Teacher ensures a good standard of education by
keeping track of the learning of the students
MATERIAL DESIGNER
Teacher can designs instructional
materials suitable for the learners
in a classroom.

FINANCIAL SUPERVISOR
Teacher manages the school's finances
PARENT TRAINER
The teacher trains volunteer-parents who
help facilitate the class.

Lastly, the atmosphere is more like

that of a home in a multigrade
classroom. Thus, the teacher often
becomes a Surrogate Parent to the
pupils.
