This document discusses multigrade classes, which are classrooms with two or more grade levels taught together. Multigrade classes exist due to necessities like remote locations with small student populations or shortages of teachers and buildings. Teachers in multigrade classes take on facilitator and planning roles. There are advantages like social interaction and individualized learning, but also challenges like needing more preparation and record keeping. Benefits are seen for learners, teachers, and communities by providing educational access in an efficient manner.
