  Case: Overload
A teacher has began collecting her baseline data for the school year. She is noticing that she has many students who are going to need to be progress monitored. She is not a co-taught class, so she has no help. What is the most effective way to manage this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One way to handle a situation like this is to create what I would like to call clumped differentiation groups. I would group students with similar scores and or weaknesses together. Then I would create lesson plans that would allow for the higher level students to peer tutor the students who are not struggling as bad as the students in the lowest group, which would be the students that I work with. There will also need to be some whole group learning, but in an effort to bring all students up to speed, the students will need to be placed in smaller groups.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. Clumped differentiation groups would be a great way to focus on a group of students with similar needs at once to make lesson planning easier.

Comments: I agree with this statement because this will help the students by peer mentor the students and provide a learning process of teaching for the students. I really like this method and have actually seen something very similar to this happen in the class that I volunteer at for my USFSP contact hours. I think small group and mentoring each other will help with comprehension and raising student's grades.
