Here is an online version of the book explaining the importance of grouping and being flexible. The decisions the teacher makes on how to group students on a day to day bases needs to be purposeful (p. 18). lhathcoa https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262494177 2018-05-21 19:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262494177 An ethical concern of mine is to receiving majority of the parent consent forms back signed (Mills 2018). The school does not have a great amount of parent involvement. lhathcoa https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262496071 2018-05-21 20:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262496071 A personal bias is searching for relative articles justifying my present practices, however the more knowledge I gain from implementing mixed ability grouping I will better my understanding of the entire guided reading block and students. lhathcoa https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262520958 2018-05-21 22:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262520958 Question: How frequent should I assess students to adjust them within their groups? lhathcoa https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262522644 2018-05-21 22:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262522644 “The composition of your guided reading groups isn’t etched in stone. Your groups should be fluid and should change as your students’ instructional needs change. That’s where informal and formal assessments come in handy.Of the informal assessments, running records are extremely useful for determining whether students should be moved to another group” mentioned on Scholastic Website by Kin Greene. lhathcoa https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262523207 2018-05-21 22:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lhathcoa/8zsbgrvr46ra/wish/262523207
