SPLIT GRADE OR MULTI AGE Clause Samples

The Split Grade or Multi Age clause defines how students of different grade levels may be grouped together in a single classroom or learning environment. In practice, this clause outlines the conditions under which such groupings are permitted, the responsibilities of teachers assigned to these classes, and any adjustments to curriculum or workload expectations. Its core function is to provide a clear framework for managing mixed-grade classrooms, ensuring that both educational standards and teacher responsibilities are maintained despite the unique challenges of multi-age instruction.
SPLIT GRADE OR MULTI AGE. Effective with the 2000-2001 school year a split grade or multi age shall be defined as a regular education elementary classroom (Y5-6) having two or more grade levels at the same time in that classroom on a regular basis. The teacher would be expected to have appropriate grade level plans as to the school-wide curriculum and or grade level objectives.
