Effective Tips >>

Combination Classes
You have been told that you will be teaching a class of more than one grade level. Combination classes require a different perspective. You CAN NOT teach two of everything and maintain your sanity. You must adopt a different approach...

It is very important to develop a class community.
Do not separate the students by saying
Fifth graders...
Fourth graders...
Do not seat in grade groups- mix the grades in the seating arrangement.
Do have mixed grade groups work on assignments and projects.
