LESSON 2:

PROGRAMS AND COMPONENTS OF


MULTIGRADE TEACHING

--PROGRAMS AND COMPONENTS--

Programs and Components


Programs and Components
Programs and Components
1. CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT- Curriculum development plays a vital role in improving the economy of a
country. It also provides answers or solutions to the world’s pressing conditions or problems, such as
environment, politics, socioeconomic, and other issues on poverty, climate change and sustainable development.
MG classrooms offer increased potential for scaffolding because students of different ages and abilities are
learning together. Both social and cognitive learning can be scaffolded across age and gender boundaries and
make greater use of student’s readiness to learn.
Here are some of the SALIENT FEATURES of the MULTIGRADE CURRICULUM:
 Budget of work
 Lesson Plan for Multi-grade classes
 Multi- grade Handbook
 Multilevel Materials
 100 Book Library
 Teacher Made Materials
2. STAFF DEVELOPMENT- Effective Professional development should help teachers learn how to use their limited
time in an efficient and effective manner.
3. MONITORING AND SUPERVISION- School monitoring and evaluation help in providing a consolidated source
of information showing the progress of the school. Monitoring and evaluation give a basis for both questioning
and testing assumptions. Monitoring and evaluation should be an integral component of any particular school
since it helps in planning.
4. RESEARCH AND EVALUATION- A careful evaluation design helps program managers assess progress, identifies
barriers and facilitators, determines whether the evidence of progress is valid and reliable, and allows staff to
make adjustments in order to enhance future effectiveness.
5. PHYSICAL FACILITIES- The finding suggests that the availability and effective utilization of school physical
facilities play a significant role in enhancing learner’s academic performance, while inadequacy of such physical
facilities could contribute to poor academic performance in students especially in the multigrade.
6. COMMUNITY SUPPORT- The support community agencies/ groups or stakeholders can provide to families
allow parents to better meet the needs of and support their children, thereby helping set the proper conditions
for learning and improving school climate for all. Community involvement is one way to help schools produce a
more capable workforce.
7. INCENTIVES AND AWARDS- Theoretically, teacher incentives motivate teacher behaviors that improve student
learning and reward teachers who demonstrate desired behaviors or whose students show improved learning…
Moreover, some research suggests that, extrinsic rewards, such as salary bonuses, actually reduce motivation
rather than stimulate it.

BASIC PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING
MULTIGRADE TEACHING

1. CHILDREN ARE UNIQUE


- Every child has unique character, strengths, and abilities, that allow him or her to express their
individuality in a social environment. It is what makes them special. Children grow at different rates in
many different areas.

2. CHILDREN LEARN BEST FROM EXPERIENCE


- Students learn not to fear mistakes but to value them. Experiential learning is designed to engage
student’s emotions as well as enhancing their knowledge and skills. Playing an active role in the learning
process can lead to students experiencing greater gratification in learning.

3. CHILDREN CAN AND DO LEARN WELL FROM EACH OTHER


- Learning from each other is a natural way of picking knowledge and skills. As children and as adults we
learn by watching each other, even more actions. A peer learning class so by copying each other’s needs
to be arranged differently. They are given challenges, tasks and resources.

4. THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER IN A CLASSROOM INVOLVES SETTING- UP AND MANAGING LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING AND TEACHING
- Teachers/ Multigrade teachers play vital roles in the lives of the students. Beyond simply educating,
teachers serve many other roles in the classroom. Teachers can set the tone of their classrooms, build a
positive learning environment, mentor and nurture students, become strong role models and listen and
look for signs of trouble.
