illustrated in the figure below. The process may start with identifying the grade
203
and age-specific competencies expected to be mastered by your learners. Age-
204
specific competencies are skills that you use to give care that meets each
205
learner’s unique needs. Every learner has their own feelings, dislikes, thoughts,
and beliefs. They also have their limitations, abilities, and life experiences,
206 207
especially in multigrades since you are going to handle diverse learners. These
208
competencies are found in the K-12 Curriculum.

STEP 1- Assessing students’ prior knowledge allows an instructor to focus and
adapt their teaching plan. For students, it helps them to construct connections

Determining what students already know allows you to:

STEP 3- Upon receiving constructive comments from the class, the teacher can
revisit their lesson plan and incorporate the necessary changes based on the
comments received. In the replanning stage, the teacher may either edit or add
214 215
STEP 4- In implementing the lesson, make sure that the learners should
215 216
acquire the skills, competencies, and objectives that they need to acquire. You
can choose a specific teaching strategy that could help both teacher and
217
learners attain the goal of the lesson.
226
STEP 6- Learners need time and opportunity to practice, use, and apply what
they have learned. Mistakes and approximations are a part of learning. Create
227 228
student learning opportunities from how you believe that students learn best.
229
In a multigrade teaching situation, you will have to use several methods for
Group assessment – observe how well each group works as a team – who are
235
the leaders, who need encouragement to participate, who prevents others from
236 237
taking part – and the quality of the group’s results. What did each individual

Self-assessment – ask your students about their favorite and most difficult
239
Peer assessment – ask the peer tutors you have selected about the progress

As a multigrade teacher with diverse students, it is significant to assess the

learner’s development. In order to achieve the goal of developing positive

LEARNING
● Self-Reflective Journal
333 334
A journal is an easy way to reflect upon what just happened during your
338 335
instruction. After each lesson, simply jot down a few notes describing your
336
reactions and feelings, and then follow up with any observations you have
337 339 340
about your students. If it helps, you can break up your journal into concrete
● Video Recording
346
A video recording of your teaching is valuable because it provides an unaltered
347 348 349
and unbiased vantage point for how effective your lesson may be from both a
of self-reflection.
● Student Observation
354
Students are very observant and love to give feedback. You can hand out a
355
simple survey or questionnaire after your lesson to get students’ perspectives
356
about how the lesson went. Think critically about what questions you’d like to
357 358
ask, and encourage your children to express their thoughts thoroughly. It’ll not
360 359 360
only be a learning experience for you but also an indirect exercise in writing for
them.
● Peer Observation
361 362
Invite a colleague to come into your classroom and observe your teaching. Now
363 364 365
this is much different and more relaxed than when you have your principal
367 366 368
come in and watch you. As a result, you’ll be able to teach more naturally and
369 370
give your colleague an honest perspective of your instruction methods. To help
371
them frame your lesson critique more clearly, create a questionnaire (you can
372
use some of the questions below) for your colleague to fill out as they observe.
373
Afterward, make some time to sit down with them so they can more accurately

Forward

Taking the time to reflect on your practice can help you decide whether your
438 437
students responded the way they should have and mastered understanding
438 439 440
of the material. You can better understand your student’s strengths and their
needs going forward. It helps us put our students first and recognize that

teaching is not just a job to complete each day. We must do it well and
442
acknowledge that we can always improve.
