What is IPEd?

The practice of teaching multiple grade levels often due to low student populations or limited resources.

A typhoon severely damages a rural school, and the government lacks resources to build new classrooms. How can the school continue operations effectively?

• Transfer all students to the urban schools

• Reduce class sizes and dismiss some students

• Suspend classes until new buildings are constructed

• Implement multigrade classes to accommodate students in fewer classrooms

Before DepEd, it was called DECS. And it means:

Teacher Shanel teaches in a rural school where Grades 1 to 3 are combined in one classroom. She uses differentiated instruction and thematic teaching. What type of classroom is she managing?
