Small groups
Small Groups
Strong small group tables are organized:
Standard-aligned questions
Teacher exemplar
Teacher question stems
Dry-erase boards/markers
Paper & pencils
Manipulatives (if applicable)
Anchor chart
Designated Supports (if applicable)
Small Group Preparation
Successful small group preparation involves thoroughly analyzing student work. Examining student work and talking directly to students about their work is the most reliable method for determining students’ misconceptions and determining if there is a procedural or conceptual gap.
These are the steps involved in planning a data-based small group session:
- identify students in need of support
- select student expectation
- select standard-aligned problems (standard aligned questions may isolate a particular part of a standard or may break the skill into bite-size pieces that are along the trajectory of understanding the standard to its fullest.)
- create an exemplar & sequence problems
- list common or observed misconceptions
- write diagnostic questions to isolate the misconception(s)
- teach/fine tune a specific strategy
Steps 4-6 are really not linear. As you create the exemplar, misconceptions may surface, and questions to ask to identify the gap or a misconception may also surface.
The goal of a small group session is to identify a gap and correct a misconception regarding conceptual or procedural understanding. Therefore teachers should focus on the concept or procedure within the context of a problem – not the problem. Use the problem as a vehicle to address the underlying issue. Then, strategically sequence the problems to be completed based on a learning trajectory geared towards comprehension and mastery of the targeted student expectations.
Guided Reading Refresher
Clarification: This is not including STRIPE. STRIPE is our intervention time but does NOT replace Guided Reading that should be going on every single day in our ELA blocks in K-2.
