  Case: The Pretest
When Mr. Smith returns scored tests back to his students, he always engages them in a self analysis of their results. Students identify which learning targets they mastered on the test and which learning targets they did not master. What should Mr. Smith do with the students who did not master the learning targets?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Students should be divided into enrichment or remediation groups depending on the mastery of the learning target. This allows Mr. Smith to work with a smaller group. He should work with that small group using guided instruction and guided practice and provide immediate feedback to students. That small group could be then divided into smaller groups with differentiated activities after working with Mr. Smith in the guided instruction and guided practice group.

Comments: I agree that these students need to be place into two different groups. Instructions need to be differentiated to address the needs of the individual students. This will help the students who need additional instructions gain confidence and become successful. Those students who are ready to move on are not held back, but allowed to move forward with additional assignments.

Comments: I think small groups could be useful if the teacher has figured out how to explain things in a different way. I have found that when teachers did those types of groups with me they just explained things the same way, and I stayed as confused as I started.
