My Students

High Hispanic population, combined with low income Title I school. We are transitioning back from online learning into the real world classroom. There are many gaps in learning and social norms due to being virtual for the last two years.

My Project

While whole group instruction is efficient, we know it is far from adequate when it comes to meeting the needs of all learners. Conferring is unparalleled when it comes to individualization, yet, in most cases, there simply isn’t enough time to meet all of the needs in this way. Small groups help us bridge the gap between conferring and whole group instruction. This horseshoe teaching table with the fun stools setup will allow me to gather students with similar needs and goals in a comfortable, welcoming area. I will allow me the work area to provide scaffolding, feedback, and guided practice to meet students where they are and help them stretch upward.
