  Case: Managing Cluster Grouping
This is the first year we have implemented the Total Cluster Grouping model at my school. I was given the low cluster, meaning I have a lot of low achieving students in my class. I have a handful of medium to high learners. I find that, at times, it is difficult to have a small group, especially when teaching new information. How can I better serve my entire class in this setting? What is the best way to float around the room while in small group?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am in classes set up this way. I find it best to teach to the group as a whole, then break up into stations. If you have 2 teachers, 2 stations should be a different skill, it provides closer attention to those who need to the help. The third station is independent work of review material.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Small mini lessons for the whole group and then breaking students into smaller groups that are able to focus on the specific areas that the student is not understanding are more effective than hour long lessons where students work independently.
