The Wisdom of Practice. Volume II. Managing the Multigraded Classroom.
Wolfe, Patricia, Ed.; And Others
In this collection, nine master teachers with extensive experience in small, rural Alaska schools describe classroom management techniques that have proven effective in their multigraded classrooms. Over half the document consists of one paper, the last in the volume, entitled "More like a School Family than Just a Teacher and His or Her Students: Is the One Teacher School for You?" by Lance C. Blackwood. This paper discusses: (1) the characteristics of an effective teacher in rural Alaska; (2) teacher-community relationships; (3) organization of the day and year for teaching many different grade levels and subjects; (4) cross-cultural issues; (5) questions for prospective employers in rural Alaska; and (6) advantages and disadvantages to teaching in a one-teacher school. Other papers present tips on planning lessons, scheduling each student's day and week, individualized instruction, small group instruction, student discipline, student seating arrangements, classroom environment, teacher-student relationships, teaching creative thinking skills, and teaching computer skills.
