A Multi-grade Teacher

Essential Characteristics of a

Multi-grade Teacher

My Insight/Reflection:

In this lesson, I've learned that a Multi-grade teacher should be creative, flexible, well-organized, resourceful. willing to work for the community, working hard, self-directed, and professional and qualified

This is my explanation on why I choose those characteristics above.

1. Creative- a multi-grade teacher should balance their responsibilities at once and flexible enough to adjust to the different students that may encounter.

2. Flexible- a multi-grade teacher must think outside the box especially in designing and presenting a discussion.

3. Well-organized- a multi-grade teacher addresses a wide range of variety of students so classroom management, lesson planning, classroom space should be structured and highly organized.

4. Resourceful- the multi-grade setting, the materials, funds, and facilities are lacking that’s why teachers should utilize the use of the limited resources available to them.

5. Willing to work for the community- in multi-grade teaching, salary is not good, resources are lacking, and you need to adjust to the environment. So, a multi-grade teacher should have the heart to impart knowledge to students and willing to sacrifice their comfortable life for a more challenging one.

6. Working Hard- multi-teachers should have the passion to work hard, to do their best, and to give for the art needs of the student.

7. Self-Directed- multi-grade teacher should help the students focus, set goals, and be organized on their learning journey to regulate distractions.

8. Professional and Qualified-before teaching, a multi-grade teacher should have experience in the field. They will impart knowledge, develop students’ skills, and might teach important life lessons. So, a teacher should be qualified to teach.
