Multigrade
Teaching

Multigrade teaching is a
situation in which one teacher
has to teach many grades, all at
the same time.
❑ It happens in schools where
there are more graders than
teachers.

Classrooms are commonly
associated with the single-grade
class, and this is what the
curriculum is usually designed to
address.

The similarities…
❑ Both teaching situations include teachers
and students who have come to school to
learn.
❑ Teachers in both situations tend to have
similar levels of qualifications and have
undergone similar training programs.

The similarities…
❑ The same curriculum is used in both
situations. In many instances, you may find
that the resources used in the single-grade
class are the same as those used in the
multigrade class. .

However, it is not the similarities
that we want to discuss in this unit.
Rather, we would like to examine
the defining features that
differentiate multigrade from
single-grade classes.
