Small Group Instruction
Learning Activity
Small group work should be seen daily and driven by data. Small groups are not only meant for students who may need reteaching, but also students that show they are ready to be pushed to a deeper understanding, and students who are working on grade level. By using small groups effectively, we are able to keep students engaged in work that keeps them in their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) for longer periods of time and engaged in more meaningful work. Effective practices around small group instruction are:
- They are occurring weekly
- They are data-driven
- The groupings are dynamic
- They teach content
- They are teaching transferable skills
- They are differentiated in skill level to meet the needs of students
