Meeting the Needs of High Achievers • In 5th grade • At CSA Lincoln By: Mrs. Brill and Mrs. Spear
Using Data to Determine Needs • Data Driven Differentiation: At CSA we continually filter through all the available data to meet the needs of our High Achieving students . • During whole group, small group, or stations students are given formative and summative assessments that focus on the standards that help students move forward with the project. • 21st century skills are embedded in all lessons. These skills are the foundation skills for the global workforce. • Through student driven projects we insert benchmarks that push students to achieve high expectations.
Leveled and Mixed Grouping • Leveled Grouping: During station time two stations are leveled; Language Arts and Math. High achieving students are at these stations on Monday and Tuesday. • Mixed Grouping: The other 4 stations are mixed. This promotes collaboration and strengthens students leadership skills. • Enrichment Groups: Students are also asked to work in enrichment groups that stretch their abilities. These groups focus on problem solving and rigorous content.

Differentiated Small Groups • Math & Language Arts enrichment groups focus on extending the skills acquired in the curriculum to meet the child’s needs. • Challenge questions/activities are presented for those students who wish to be pushed. • Extension activities are included in rotations.
Individualized Programming Student Voice and Choice Students’ work and deepen their learning by centering on significant issues, debates, questions and/or problems. Students make their own ideas clear when speaking. Students voice concern for real-world problems that capture their interest and act on their concerns. Voice requires critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.
Extended Projects • Opportunities to investigate further • Breeding a culture of accountability • Control over their own learning
Real World Connections Community Partners enable real world connections within projects that support the standards.
