  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!)
I can see how that would be a problem in the classroom. Sometimes the distance between what the student's need compared to where they're at academically can be a huge problem in the classroom. I have seen that in classrooms I have been in. Often times the teachers will simply teach the current pacing standard and not what the student's actually need. However, I think that a teacher needs to teach what they need as well as where they should be at.
