Groupings.docx II-A-3. Meeting Diverse Needs
This document that shows how flexible student groupings are used to meet the needs of each student.
This artifact shows proficient practice in II-A-3. Meeting Diverse Needs, reflecting how I modified student groupings after each assessment. As assessments provide me with information about the progress my students make, I use this information to refine my instruction. Students are then place in instructional groups where I can provide each group with the differential instruction that meets them where they are and moves them to the next level.
Artifact:
Reading Groups
Sun: Students in the Intensive group who need the most small group Instruction and one-on-one time (the students most at risk, performing below grade level).
Moon: Students in the Supplemental group who need some small group Instruction time and one-on-one (students with some risk of falling behind).
Rainbow: Students in the Core group who is functionning at grade level and need average small group instruction.
Sky: Students in the advanced group who is above grade level and I meet with them less often than the other groups but who still need small group instruction to challenge them.

II-A-3. Meeting Diverse Needs
This is a sample of how I plan my week of objectives and instruction for different groups of students.
This artifact is illustrates proficient practice in II-A-3. Meeting Diverse Needs. It documents a typical week of mini-lessons, and the way that I have been differentiating instruction with my students who are at different levels and places in their learning. Each group has different needs: Sun is my Intensive group of students who have most recently been performing below grade level; Moon is my Strategic group of students who have been performing slightly below level. Rainbow is my Core group of students who have been performing on level. Sky is my Advanced group of students who have been performing above level. This artifact shows how I accommodate differences in learning needs and levels of readiness (II-A-3).
