  Case: Teacher Leaders
As a teacher leader, how would you convince other teachers, specifically in middle grade mathematics, to adapt their teaching strategies to incorporate more small group instruction and collaborative work? You have tried doing professional development through curriculum meetings but still notice that teachers are not implementing these best practices in their classrooms. So far, administration has not provided much support in enforcing change. What else could you try?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think collaborative learning is the key to success. Differentiation is essential in order for our students to learn successfully. When students work together with students at their own learning level, they are more likely to feel confident in their learning. I am thankful to have a co-taught class where I am able to do this.

Comments: This is the worst solution because although it talks about differentiation it does not address the question properly.

Comments: This may work for some kids, but I feel that it may not be the most beneficial thing for all students. I could see using this at times, but not all the time.
