classroom setting. Beside each activity, you will estimate how much
time is spent on that activity in a typical day.

 Effective classroom organization and management
includes efficient use of instructional time. Establishing
routines, participating in group activities, working on
independent tasks, and other essential classroom activities
all involve time management.
Setting priorities and structuring the day around the
most important tasks is the first step in managing time in
classroom.
Setting priorities can assist teachers in completing their
daily objectives, even when unexpected events arise.
 Instructional time refers to the period of time
during which students receive instruction from a
teacher and the school is accountable for them. It
encompasses classroom activities during regularly
scheduled time when student are expected to be
actively engaged in a learning activity. In most cases,
educational policies or regulations specify the
instructional time.
Below is the time allotment per subject area prescribed
by the Department of Education in the Philippines.
 It is important to keep in mind, however, that the schedule
for a multigrade class may differ from that of a monograde
class. It should take , into account the students’ varied needs
and capabilities as well as the teacher’s experience and
expertise. Therefore, a multigrade teacher needs to be
knowledgeable on timetabling. A timetable is a relevant tool to
manage time and organize resources. In a multigrade
timetable, usually, a subject is scheduled at the same time for
the entire class, however separate groups may be working on
different things within that time.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when making a
timetable:

Determine how much instructional time is available each day.

To do this, subtract the non-instructional time (routines,
transitions, socializing) from the amount of time students are
in school. (allotted time)-(non-instructional time)=
(instructional time).
Specify the subjects to be taught as well as their
competencies for each grade level as set forth by the
Department of Education.
Determine how much time is required for each
subject per week.

Identify the available resources and teaching
strategies needed for each subject.
 Here are two common timetabling approaches that can be
utilized in a multigrade class(Hyry-Beihammer&Hascher,
2015):
a. Split timetable or Subject stagger approach
In a multigrade class, each grade level studies different subjects
simultaneously. The teacher prepares different lessons and teaches the
group in turns.

Example:
Time Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6
8:00 - 8:50 Math Science English
8:50 - 9:40 English Math Science
10:00 - 10:50 Science English Math
b. Common subject approach
The students in each grade level will study the same
subject at the same time, but will work on different
activities.

Example:
Time Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6
8:00 - 8:50 Math Math Math
8:50 - 9:40 English English English
10:00 - 10:50 Science Science Science
Tips for timetabling in multigrade class:

Math and other subject that need more concentration

should be taught in the morning.
Consider the students’ maturity and attention span. Younger
students have shorter attention span and may need to change
activities more often.
Allow adequate time to teach and supervise all the grade
levels may it be in whole class or small groups activities.
The timetable should be posted clearly and be made familiar
to the students.
What is the significance of effective
timetabling in a multigrade classroom,
and what strategies can enhance
instructional time management?
