  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 find that my lowest students have the most difficulty with independent centers. So at the beginning of the year I have had some difficulty adjusting them to group rotations. I would make sure that you have plenty of modeling and practice for activities that you plan to have at independent groups. This diminishes any disruptions for you while teaching a small group and increases student participation.
