Think teaching a split grade means double the prep and double the stress? Think again! In this episode, Patti dives into the most common myths about teaching combined grades and reveals the truth about what actually makes them work.

Tuck these in your teacher pocket:

  • Plan one unified lesson for both grades (without doubling your workload)
  • See the curriculum as a continuum instead of two separate checklists
  • Simplify planning by focusing on skills, not just expectations
  • Strengthen classroom management and student independence
  • Ditch the guilt and find balance in your split grade classroom
