Making the Most Out of Small Group Instruction by Tarya https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups Made with wonder en-us 2018-01-10 20:29:37 UTC 2018-01-10 21:47:07 UTC hello@padlet.com I would like to know what the best way to create productive struggle is. I've heard putting similar levels together and also, doing the opposite, putting the lower level kids with higher levels. When I put similar level groups together, I notice that the highest group is done the quickest, and the lowest group is really behind and often doesnt try if they do not have an adult working with them the whole time. https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220398856 2018-01-10 21:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220398856 I would like to know what are the best practices when doing small group. https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220398914 2018-01-10 21:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220398914 Where or what is the best resource to use when planning more hands on activities for subjects that feel rather hands off [ELA]; coming up with a creative way to incorporate standards and allow kids to have a more active or creative outlet can be difficult. https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220399013 2018-01-10 21:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220399013 yokeynamiller https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220399061 How to keep students on task when you're with another group.]]> 2018-01-10 21:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220399061 https://padlet.com/taryaharrell/groups/wish/220399122 I do not see classroom management as an issue with small group instruction.
