prior planning

Things to think through when planning targeted instruction.

• How can I get students to master critical content in a meaningful way?
• What materials will we need?
• How can I give my small groups processing and application time?
• What will the rest of the class be doing while I have a small group?

Student Ownership

Targeted instruction is most powerful when students have ownership of their learning.

Students tracking and monitoring their own data and progress.

Students reviewing their data with you in data meetings or mini-conferences.

Student checkpoints or checklists. Students use this to guide them through learning.

Students self-reflection. Students can articulate what instruction they are receiving and why.
