Small group instruction

Our staff has been really focusing on small group instruction and how to best meet all the needs of the students.  In Café our staff has become really good at conferring with individual students and setting goals with them.  We are finding that some students are stalling with moving up in their DRA level, so we are looking at how to pull small groups to provide explicit support with skills to help students progress.  One teacher shared a great resource to start setting up groups(see picture below).  We are embarking on a school-wide focus on small group strategy groups.  I will post more as we unpack the conversation.
