Introduct
The multigrade teacher interacts with the student

ion
and notices that each child is like but distinct from
the others. Each child has a diverse set of interest
and distinct styles of thinking, acting, and
creating. A multigrade teacher is frequently tasked
with meeting the various needs of the students and
determining how to correctly organize students for
them to reach their full potential.
According to Taole (2017), Frequently and
adaptable grouping is seen as an important
component of good mixed-grade teaching. But
based on Gouws (2007) anticipating that if
student is categorized based on the same skills
or a mix of talents, they will interact more with
students with various abilities. Making more
progress and learning more quickly. Mixed
ability grouping is thought to be useful strategy
for multigrade teachers. It provide solution’s to
ensure high levels of quality in multigrade
education.
