My Project

Researchers have found that small-group learning improves academic achievement, relationships with classmates and teachers, and psychological well-being (in contrast to competitive and individualistic learning). In small group instruction, rich tasks promote deep understanding and allow us to adjust our teaching to meet individual learners' needs.

Organized small-group instruction is one of the cornerstones of teaching and learning.

When the small group instruction is organized, with defined tools, spaces, and materials, students can anticipate what is expected in a specific setting and predict what will happen during class.

The 3-drawer rolling cart, write and wipe storage carts, and the dry-erase pockets will help me stay organized and help the students maximize learning by avoiding long transitions with the help of these small group essentials.
