Module 5: – Multigrade
Classroom in the
I. Introduction/Background
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.
II.Learning Outcomes
1. Identify the human resources
in a multigrade environment
that contribute to an effective
teaching and learning.
2. Enumerate ways of gaining the
support of the parents and the
community in the multigrade
classroom.
3. Appreciate the importance of
community linking up in a
multigrade system.

Lesson 9: Linking-Up
Parent Involvement in the
Multigrade Classroom
Parents can participate
at school by helping with
functions and activities or
communicating with teachers. They
can also be involved at home in
many ways, including guiding their
children to manage homework and
other commitments and engaging
in discussions about values and
attitudes regarding education.
Two important ways:
1. as parents of their own
children and thus involved
in their individual child’s
education.
2. as parents who are
concerned about the
multigrade classroom in
more ways.
Group Meetings with
Parents
A parent–teacher conference,
parent–teacher interview, parent–
teacher night or parents' evening,
is a short meeting or conference
between the parents and
teachers of students to discuss a
child's progress at school and find
solutions to academic or
behavioral problems.

This is an effective way of
making initial contact and
sustaining contact with the
parents as a group. Gathering
them as group by inviting them
for a parents’ meeting at least
once a month will help strengthen
a sense of community among
them.
This is a good opportunity to
show them the classroom and
give them examples of how their
children will be learning. The
meetings with parents should be
as informal and relaxed as
possible, brief (not more than an
hour if it is held in the afternoon)
and focus.
Individual Parent-Teacher
Conferences
A teacher must be supportive
as possible in discussing problems
with parents, being careful not to use
words or tone of voice that will make
them feel they are being blamed.
Rather a tone of concern and
reassuring them that “We will work
this out together”
Parent as Classroom Volunteers
Parent volunteers provide valuable
additional support in the multigrade
classroom. Having parents come in
during reading time or mathematics
time to assist individual children who
may need some help by reading a
story with the children or playing
game with them will go along way in
providing direct adult support of the
children.
Appropriate activities for parent
volunteers would be:
 Reading a story to a small group of
children.
 Playing a game with a small group of
children in one of the learning
centers
 Helping prepare instructional
materials e.g. cutting or pasting,
gathering materials from the
household or from the environment.
 Assist and cook food for the MG
Learners during feeding.
 Helping children and teachers in
cleaning the school ground.
Involving Community
Members
There are also community members
who should be considered as important
partners of the multigrade teacher in
providing for the needs of multigrade
students.
 If the multigrade
teacher is a resident
of the community,
this is also generally
advantageous
because there will be
less rapport-building
required.
 Leaders of community
organizations/barangay officials
are vital in improving the MG
School.
 They can help the multigrade
schools not only through
donations of materials resources,
but also facilitating the process
of finding necessary resources.

Lesson 2: Importance of
Multigrade
Classroom in
the Community
The importance of parent and
community involvement in the life of
the multigrade schools and the ways
that the teacher can facilitate this
involvement is a must.
 Providing educational services to
thinly populated areas and remote
communities
 Using limited but localized
educational resources.
 Maintaining small barrio schools
help to build and sustain the
identity of the community and the
cultural life of the people in the
community.
 The quality of relationship
between the school and the
community depends heavily upon
the ability of multigrade teacher
and administrators of the school’s
system.
 Greater interaction between MG
schools and communities can
enhance educational outcomes. It
also builds the role of MG schools
as contributors to the vitality of
their local community.
 Using “real world” examples
drawn from the community can
strengthen the multigrade
curriculum, and the involvement
of learners in the community can
enhance their broader knowledge
and confidence.
 In primary schools the aim is to
have appropriate interaction
between the school and
community to leave students with
values of citizenship and
more basic integration into the
curriculum.
 Building such partnerships
requires visioning, strategic
planning, creative leadership and
new multifaceted roles for
professionals who work in schools
and communities.
