healthy development of their students. In many situations, multigrade
teachers, because of their training and position, assume an important
position in the local community. This is the case, not only in the eyes of
the pupils, but also from the parents' perspective. Thus, the multigrade
teacher is the critical link between the school and its community.
 • THE MULTIGRADE TEACHER AND
THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE
COMMUNITY

The nature of many situations where a multigrade school

exists is such that the co-operation and assistance of the local
community is needed to improve the quality of educational
services that Multigrade Teaching schools provide.
 The MTG teacher is often the most broadly and well
educated person in the community and as such plays
an important role as an adviser to pupils and their
families in a wide range of social matters.

 Many MTG Teaching schools are situated in isolated

and remote regions. As a result of the teachers'
education and social status, they are usually seen as
having a high prestige and so are sought out by the
community members for information on various
matters.
 The MTG teacher may also be required to be the
manager of the finances of the school in some context.
For example: collection of money from the community
for minor repairs and maintenance of school buildings
and grounds.

 Teachers work autonomously in classrooms "separated

by time, space, and curriculum", rarely collaborating
even with fellow professionals. Parents and teachers
must acquire new skills and change old attitudes to
become effective partners.

 Fully mastering multigrade practices takes years.
