Elementary Strategies for Student Grouping

​Resources:

• Entry/Closing Ticket - Provide 5-10 minutes for students to reflect on their learning by completing an entry or closing ticket (depending on your model). Group students based on the data collected. (Example)
• Flexible Grouping - Change groups in frequent and dynamic ways. (Example #1; Example #2; Example #3)
• Purposeful groupings - Be intentional around how you group students by using student data and student relationships (heterogeneous or homogeneous) in your instructional model. (Example; NWEA Grouping Template)
• Use data from digital content providers/tools/anecdotes to pull groups - Use the data collected from the digital content provider/tool and/or observations to conference with students. (Digital Content Example; Digital Tools;  Anecdotes Example)
