Because of small class sizes, my school district is requiring me next school year to teach an advanced 7th grade class which covers 7th and 8th grades in one year along with an Algebra class. Has anyone had to teach two classes at the same time and if so, how in the heck did you do it?

Math I am assuming?

Rotation schedule with an independent work assignment. As students write down notes, you get the other section on their assignments. Utilize warm-ups, sponge activities, and closure assignments to help keep students working until you get back to them.

Find common standards to help you with full class activities. Use chapter exam days to have conferences with students and their progress.

I did this with 40 kids in a class with different knowledge levels of ability. It can be done if everything is prepped.

Use the Algebra kids at semester to help tutor.

Reach out to the foreign language teachers in high school. They have to do this every year with Juniors and seniors. They are a great resource to help balance the different levels.

Thank you!

I taught AP Calculus and Calculus III in the same hour, I made videos. alternating which group got in class teaching with who watched a video, not the best scenario, but it worked

Thank you!

Yes, I had to. I was part of the Special Ed., (small classes).

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
