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 would have the class start by teaching the lesson all together. This will eliminate the temptation to talk to other students, and eliminates distractions. Then I would break them into groups, but have the groups predetermined. In the groups I would carefully place the students in groups that compliment each other, to maximize the learning potential.
