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!) The problem of meeting both what below grade level students need and what curriculum call for is unavoidable. Before students move forward they must have an understanding of previous concepts, when addressing concepts that students should already know build in introduction to on grade level topics. Students should be working toward using the basic concept to apply to newer content.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is the best solution for this case. Building in quick lessons when introducing the topic is a great way to help all of the students gain an understanding of the basic concepts needed to apply the newer content.
