LESSON I

DESIGNING IN
MULTIGRADE TEACHING
Read the story
depicting two new
multi grade
teachers engage in
a conversation.
Teacher 1: I'm terrified of my new teaching assignments in a
multigrade class. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the tasks that lie
ahead of me.

Teacher 2: I'm feeling exactly the same way. Despite

my positive internship experiences. I am not sure in

my to handle the vast responsibilities of being a

multigrade teacher, particularly in the creation of

lesson designs.

Teacher 1: I don't think I'm very good at lesson designing.

Teacher 2: I'm curious, what exactly is a lesson design in a


multigrade class? Is it going to make it easier for me to start
teaching?
1. Describe the dilemma of the two new
multigrade teachers.

2. What is your feeling about their dilemma ?

3. If you were the multigrade teachers, what


are your perspective towards multigrade
teaching in general, and lesson designing, in
particular?

4. What would make easier for you to begin


teaching in multigrade class?
A lesson designing is a blue print for teacher or
a template for facilitating a lesson. It is the
major pillar of the educational structure and
the center of learning (Mastropieri & Scruggs,
2007).

According to Nesai and Heidari, 2014, it contains


the objectives (what students in each grade level
should learn), how the objectives will be fulfilled
(the method of delivery and procedure), and a
methodology to assess how well the objectives
were met (assessment). One of the most
important aspects of the educational process is
the lesson design or plan.
An multigrade lesson design consists of des pertaining to the
lessons, the outcomes that w addressed by grade levels, the
methods that will be used which involved differentiation and
groupings, and the materials and activities that will be
included to engage and assess the students.

Lesson designing is at the heart of effective teaching. It is a


creative process that allows the teacher to map out
curriculum goals into skills and tasks (Posner, 2003). It
ensures continuity of learning and the integration of skills
and knowledge across the multigrade curriculum. Further, it
serves as a tool for evaluation for instructional approaches
utilized. In other words careful lesson designing leads to an
effective Multigrade learning environment.
Benefits of Effective Lesson Design
It organizes the thoughts of the teacher and coordinates his/ her ideas
well which facilitates good teaching and learning. It equips the teacher
with the general outlines of the goals and the resources needed to
achieve them.

Because the activities and materials are prepared and properly


sequenced, it saves energy for both the teacher and the students. As a
results, it completes expected tasks for both students and teachers and
develops a sense of order among learners.

It allows the teacher to spend less time in class flipping through the
textbook, worrying about what to do next, or rushing to make photocopies.
To encourage students to participate in activities, time is being maximized.
Multigrade teachers must plan-
meticulously. Lesson designs,
curriculum guides, budget of work, and
timetables are planning materials that
assist teachers in preparing ahead of
time to ensure that all essential
competencies are covered. Lesson
planning for multigrade teachers
should be flexible and imaginative.
