  Case: Moving Ahead
While passing by an open door, you hear Jorge, a 4th grade ELL student, some sentences from a story that he wrote for homework using the week's vocabulary terms. The teacher, Ms. Shoefit, has 24 students in her ELA class and 10 of those students are English learners. How can Ms. Shoefit balance trying to reach the goal of increasing the English of her ELL students while trying to move ahead with her regular students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The best way to reach all students is through guided reading groups. If the teacher breaks the class into groups of 4-5 students based on their reading levels, she can differentiate to meet each student's need.
