-Grouping: 2 to 3 people in a group, with at least 1 person from each group that is capable of monitoring the progress.
-learning targets (success criteria) and instructions needs to be specific and simple enough for students to understand. We can use sentence frames, guiding questions and other scaffolding strategies to help our students achieve the success criteria.
- rubrics and self-checklist can be provided to students for them to self-assess, track their learning progress, and set new learning goal. Teachers should choose anonymous weak and strong samplers to demonstrate strengths and weaknesses for students' learning. 
- students should all achieve the same success criteria by the end of the lesson. However, teachers should provide different scaffolding according to different learning needs.
