How? Dig in and find out what students really need. Use short, targeted assessments for students to demonstrate their knowledge!

Small group instruction can look many different ways. Teachers and classrooms are unique. Show yourself some kindness through this process.

And know that messy is part of the process.

Small group instruction can look so many different ways! If you're just starting out, adding a teacher led small group where you provide individualized instruction to a small group of students (I suggest 3-5).
