  Case: Cluster Math
I am currently teaching a cluster math class, which means that I have very low students and advanced math students all in the same class. I provide instruction the same way for all students, but then about half of my class is ready to move on and the other half needs remediation to be successful. What is the best way to use my time in order to challenge advanced students and remediate struggling students in the same class period?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Are your low students in special education or EL, if so, can the case manager of the students help provide an activity on the student's instructional level? Have you thought about a tiered level of activities? I know it takes time upfront to complete differentiated lessons and activities, but it is worth the time and effort when the students are able to complete the lesson independently. Have you thought about videoing or recording to help remediate?

Comments: I think it's a bad idea to have the class going on to different activities because other will just fall further behind.
