  1. Small Group Instruction Grades 4-5

  2. Justification for Small Groups • We need to measure how students learn the information we teach. (Transfer) • Support needs to be given to students who are not grasping the concepts. • Enrichment must be given to enhance learning for our higher achieving students.

  3. Key Point • Not all kids need small group instruction all the time • Only students who need remediation, enrichment or support should be pulled • Small groups are fluid

  4. Checklist for Implementation • Purpose • Evaluate assessment results • Pre-test or results of a summative assessment • Data Driven • Identify students: • Did not grasp concept / require intervention • Require enrichment (Aced assessment) • Learning Expectations • Set learning goals based upon student achievement scores Re-teach and re-assess • Did you achieve your goal? • Learning Styles • High Interest • Multiple Intelligences • Choice

  5. Using Data for Grouping • Example of how small groups can work (Gedney) • How do you determine groups? • Who needs remediation? • How did you come to that conclusion? • What will you do to re-teach? • What will your other students be doing? • There is no right/wrong answer. • How will you re-assess?

  6. Closure: Review Current Assessments Available • Brainstorm Assessments Used • Are your assessments aligned to the standards? • How would you use your most recent assessment for small group instruction? • Who would you pull? • Why? • How would you re-teach? • Turn your form into one of the group facilitators

  7. Transfer Timeline • Focus on fidelity – you are hitting the proper steps • Goal: By November 12, practice using this in one subject. • Bring documentation: • What assessment did you use? • How did you analyze the data and form small groups? • How effective was it?

  8. Different Ways to Group • A variety of ways exist to group students: • Ability • Student Choice • High Interest • Intervention • Skill based • Enrichment

  9. What does it look like? • Teacher targets specific skills with small group • Remaining students are completing other tasks

  10. Management • Students who are not in small group can be: • Working independently • Working in Centers • Cooperative Groups

  11. Enrichment • Can be for high achieving students based upon pre-assessment • Can be interest based
