Intentional Planning for small group in my classroom means I have an opportunity to "breakdown" information to my students. For instance, in Reading, I have an opportunity to breakdown phonemic awareness, or comprehension skills and strategies for students. For Math, I have an opportunity to breakdown concepts being taught. I have this opportunity to really explain and "breakdown" the information for students.

Intentional planning for small groups is based on students needs and levels for the skills being taught at the time. This is based on weekly assessments, running records, and District test. The small group will consist of 4-6 students on the same ability level focusing in on the necessary skill or enrichment if they have mastered necessary skills.

Learning stations are spiral skills that students need practice and consist of technology, task cards , and learning games.

Intentional planning for small group instruction consists of colorful dry erase markers used on a single stand up dry erase board, index cards with different vowels, sounds, sight words, etc for small group learning, thorough instructions, and help identifying things better.

Intentional planning for learning stations consist of iStation or Reflex Math, skills that we have learned previously as a refresher as well as skills we are currently learning to strengthen the knowledge of the current objectives set in place.

Intentional planning for small group instruction looks like books pre-read by me. Worksheets, dry erase boards and markers, pencils are available once the group session starts.

Intentional planning for learning stations consist of being aware of specific IEP goals that will be started for that day. Also ensuring materials are pre-cut or pre-sorted if need be.

Intentional Planning for small group is based on the Data I receive from Istation,  District test, and Running Records.

At my Teacher Station I have a group of 4 -6 students that need the same gaps closed.  We use hands on activities to keep the students engaged, while still focusing on the skill they need help with.  Students cannot interrupt my group unless it is a B emergency.

Learning Stations are grouped in groups of 2-4.  The rotations consist of, Raz Kids, IStation, Treasures Flip charts, etc.

Time is up to be continued...

Intentional planning in my classroom for small group is data driven according to what  my students immediate needs are.

Intentional planning for learning stations is driven by low SE's and hot spots.

My intentional small group planning is driven by my student's IEP goals and objectives.  It is specific for each student's needs.

My intentional learning station activities are geared to assist my students fill in gaps to reach their grade level instruction.

Intentional planning realizes each child is different with unique life experiences.  Also, as a teacher I am aware of Time management and I am intentional about planning my lessons.  I will set specific goals and time lines and spiral my lessons if necessary.

Intentional planning independent as well as group work.

I would have students gruop on the floor or chairs and provide demonstration of examples to answer worksheet or playing example.

Intentional planning for small group instruction is based on data/student need. Likewise, for stations and small group, the teacher must plan with great detail the appropriate resources, timing, movement, etc. It is critical to teach and practice expectations. Teacher should be aware of behaviors/personalities as well so that little time is wasted on discipline issues.

Intentional planning in small group will be helping the students understand the difference between biography and autobiography. So I will bring a group of students to a table with me and show them different biographies and we will discuss if they are a biography or auto biography and how did they find the answer. For learning stations I will have different activities about biographies and autobiographies at tables. For example a compare and contrast chart.

In order to plan intentional you have to use different forms of data so that you will be able to move your children to the next level for success.

Small group should not be more that 6 students for it to be effective. The lessons should be targeted by tek or skill and the teacher has to model and the lesson should not be more than 15 minutes so that students will have time to practice or complete an activity and then review before they leave the small group. Also if the students are doing guided reading they students have to be trained on how to reading and comprehend while other students are reading aloud so they are not distracted.

Intentional planning is data driven. Planning to assure that all students are successful within a particular lesson or skill. Each group receives instruction and lessons that are geared not only towards those things that are not successful but to advance (in some areas) certain skills. Students will be guided through the lesson and provided an opportunity to clear up any misconceptions and practice those skill to fidelity. During the small groups, I provided students individual directive and corrections to allow the students to understand the mistakes that are made with a chance to better understand the TEK expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning in small group is driven by data. The data will show which students haven't mastered certain SEs. Students that are not reading and comprehending on grade level will engage in guided reading which will improve their fluency and comprehension at the same time. Questions given by me during guided reading are derived from question stems attache to SEs. Intentional planning for learning stations comes from the YAG and what is supposed to be taught. Learning stations will include weekly text, vocab, I-station, and writing. All learning stations are SE specific and what students should be learning at the present time.

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning for small group instruction in my classroom is implemented in a number of ways. Everything we do in small group intervention is data driven, compromised from several different sources. I create the lesson based on whatever skill we are working on in class and the skills from the previous lesson that I have assessed my students are still struggling with. I also make sure that whatever we are working on, there is accountability and no down time.

Intentional planning for small group instruction involves practicing with a specific skill or content at the teacher table as well as spiraling skills that are being practiced in small groups. For learning stations the planning always involves skills or TEKS we are reviewing for mastery or practice. I choose games or computer programs that can keep their attention while also making it rigorous. I also intentionally group students so that they can support each other working with skills.

Intentional planning for my classroom, first, is driven by data. Since I teach Science, most of the class period is students collaborating in groups to complete an investigation. Learning stations/Observation stations are designed for students to explore in current content. Small group instruction comes as needed. Majority of the time, based on my experience, when students come to 5th grade Science, most science content is being introduce for the first time. Therefore, Science content is taught as Observation stations or whole-group instruction.

Intentional planning in small group instruction is based on what particular skill I am introducing or the strengthening of that skill.
Intentional planning for learning stations is sometimes a direct result from previous skills or the front loading of certain skills

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning for small group starts with making sure all activities/ assessments are planned with great detail. It is important that I don't just pull students with no meaning behind it. My small groups are normally just a review of the content learned that week. The work stations that I put in place are very intentional. I review data from previous weeks assessments or areas the students have not shown mastery in and use that information to determine what stations the students will work on for the week. Grouping is also very important and has to be done with students work relationships, academic levels, and behavioral issues in mind.

Small Group Instruction
- Based on data, formal and informal I decide what TEK's I will  cover. Often times small group instruction may require that I teach a prerequisite  before I focus on the actually TEK.
For example, before I was able to fully engage into adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators, I had to have small group instruction on generating equivalent fractions, improper fractions and mixed numbers.

Learning Station Activities
-Based on data, primarily formal because I want to either extended/enhance learning of a TEK. I am sure to choose activities that can be student led, so that students will be able to take ownership in their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Small group instruction should mirror whatever objective is covered as a whole group. During this time, struggling students can have areas of weakness addressed and high achieving students can be challenged and or address their weaknesses also.

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning for me begins with the learning style of the students along with their data from the assessments. I use the data to make sure I am able to establish goals and meet the needs of the students academically. In small group instruction, I am able to focus on the data for each student individually. I am able to be intentional about my small groups based on the data as well. I am able to work with my students in small group and understand that all of small groups will not look the same. Based on Tiers, I am able to meet the academic need for my students in small group by intentionally planning what I will work on in small group.

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning for small group for me starts with data. I first have to assess my students to see where they are academically and what they need more help on for improvement and success. After receiving data i then put my kids into groups and figure out who needs small group instruction. We work in small groups everyday and activities are based on the need of the students. Learning stations are based upon the needs of the students and hands on practice with the SE's that have been taught. They are held accountable with an informal assessment checking to see if they understand the concept in the station.

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning for small group instruction is based on data from teacher observations, district assessments, progress monitoring and individualized needs. For example, if a student is having difficulty with comprehension, but not reading, the skill focus in the small group should be centered around questioning about text information.

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning for small group instruction is based on the student data and academic need. In my class the students receive small group instruction every day because we work in stations. The teacher station changes activities based on the need of the group.

Intentional planning for the learning stations is based on the academic learning concepts that are being introduced that week. I also look at the academic concept in need of spiraling from the previous week. I think about what I need the students to understand and learn as it relates to the academic concepts

# data[].attributes.body
Intentional planning starts with individual student assessment data. Once I have this, I can create small groups that  target specific skill support for an individual student or a group of students that need same skill support.

Intentional planning for learning station activities starts with me understanding what we have already covered in class and activities that can be done by students independently. Learning station are more or a spiraling review for students and are meaningful and engaging.

Intentional planning begins with student data to assess the individual needs of my students. The weekly guidelines (SEEDS for SPED PPCD) are used to plan the lessons and the internet and classroom materials are reviewed and collected to use to create engaging lessons as well as to provide differentiated lessons.

Pre-K 4
Small group instruction allows the students to review skills that were previously taught.  Students in this group are often grouped according to skill level and this allows the teacher to focus on their areas of weakness in a more direct approach.

The learning stations are the target skills that will be the focus for that weak of instruction. It allows the students to apply what is being introduced or review for that week.
