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!)
In this classroom situation I would use small groups and within those small groups I would have a mixture of low, medium, and high cluster students. With this type of blended classroom you never want to show who's smarter than whom. Though depending on the age group of the student, they will tend to help each other out when it time for lessons. Make sure you regularly switch the groups to allow your students to become more socially interactive. This I think will help you become a better teacher and a facilitator. |

Comments: I agree that having a mixture of different learners is the best way to go. We actually do this at my work, my manager will schedule the best and the worst together because they can learn from each other and it goes much smoother for the most part. They can use each others ideas and teach each other the best ways to learn. |
