The groups should change based on the learning target/standard/baseline data. Flex groupings are beneficial for many reasons. They help teachers personalize learning through data/interest of the student. Eventually students will be able to have a choice in what they read/do to meet the learning target/standard. Maybe Flex grouping will make it easier for teachers to offer choices, which ultimately help motivate our middle school students.]]> 2016-09-28 17:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127063397 Flex grouping  https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127083554 allows students to work with a specific standard in a variety of ways]]> 2016-09-28 18:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127083554 Flexible learning allows teachers to meet students where they are and get them to where they need to be https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127083969 2016-09-28 18:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127083969 Connection https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127087505 Great for honing in on standards, challenging kids right where they are, and providing choice & freedom in their learning.]]> 2016-09-28 18:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/melisa_zenner/jw4c77ancmlm/wish/127087505 Flex grouping allows students (and teachers) more variety in how content is delivered and received.
