The Nature of Multi-Grade Classes

Reflection # 1
Education is the ticket for a brighter future. This tagline was said by Miss Universe 2013 Ariela Arida during
the question and answer portion. Yes it is, because without education we cannot attain what we want in life. This is
the best weapon that we can have in our life especially nowadays because we are now in a modern world, wherein
modern things exist. That is why Multi-Grade Classes exist in order to educate children despite of the things that
Department of education faced nowadays
A Multi-Grade Classes is a combination of two or more classes in one classroom and one at a time. Compare
to mono-grade classes it is quite different, because it is more complicated and demanding or what we called a crucial
one, but their aims are the same which is to produce a productive youth in the future and to become a better person
someday.
That means that the way that the students of the Multi-Grade class should be taught must be different as well
and it is a challenge for the entire teachers handling a Multi-Grade Classes to do their best in order that learning will
take place. Yes, it is true that the function of the teacher in the Multi-Grade classroom is multidimensional or to be
more accurate

The Nature of Multi-Grade Classes
Reflection # 1

A multi grade class is defined as a class composed of two or more grades less than one teacher in a complete
or incomplete elementary school and it has been has been implemented since 1920s. It has always been covered by
policies on mono grade class organization which resulted in multi grade classes.
The multi grade system has been with us for quite some time but it is very obvious that we have not regarded
it as a very viable alternative delivery system to provide access to basic education as well as quality education by
providing complete grade levels in all public elementary schools as a systematic and viable means of meeting the
goal and providing education for all.
The existence of the multi grade classes in our country is also embodied under the provision of the Philippine
Constitution. Considering the present thrusts of the government to make at least elementary education truly
accessible to all particularly to children in remote barangays.
The main function of the Multi-Grade teacher is to teach students by imparting knowledge not just follow a
curriculum. They must be able to develop skills and inculcate desirable values and attitudes among pupils. The
teacher is expected to be versatile and utilize different strategies to make learning meaningful and effective for all
students in his or her classroom, no matter what individual differences may exist among the students.
