Instructional Time - Multigrade Classroom
- Following guidelines help manage instructional time in a multigrade classroom.
- Determine the total amount of instructional time available each day.
- Specify the subjects to be taught and their competencies for each grade level, as determined by the Department of Education.
- Determine how much time is required for teaching each subject every week.
- Identify available resources and teaching strategies needed for each subject.
Two Common Timetabling Approaches
Split Timetable or Subject Stagger Approach
- Each grade level studies different subjects simultaneously.
- The teacher prepares different lessons and teaches each group in turn.
- For example, Grade 1 can study math between 8:00-8:50, while Grade 2 studies science, and Grade 3 studies English at the same time.
Common Subject Approach
- Students in each grade level study the same subject at the same time but work on different activities.
- For example, Grades 1, 2, and 3 might study math together between 8:00-8:50.
Timetabling Tips for Multigrade Class
- Subjects needing more concentration, such as Math, should be taught in the morning.
- Attention span and maturity of students should be considered.
- Younger students have a shorter attention span and may need to change activities more often.
- Adequate time should be available for teachers to supervise and teach all grade levels in whole class or small group activities.
- Timetables should be posted clearly and readily available to students.
