  Case: Small Group Content
As a new teacher, I have noticed that what the students need and what the pacing calls for often does not align. This problem has a major effect on small group in my class. I am torn between giving the students what they need bridge their gaps or to teach the current pacing standard which will be tested on that Friday. Grades have to be taken.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a solution, I would have the students work in small groups, so they can go at their own paces. Then if some students do need extra time, they can be pulled aside during a down time activity.

Comments: While pulling students to the side if they need extra help is useful. You want to provide information to the groups so that they do not need that extra time. You can only pull so many students to the side.

Comments: I believe that this would be effective. However, the students would fall behind if they were required to work at their own pace for such a long period of time. I would not recommend doing this frequently.
