10. Good and the Bad • Meets the students at their current level • Classroom Management???? • PLANNING • Do it once and you will be a pro before you know it • Even better, you probably already do some form of DI

11. Pre-Assessment • You must do some type of pre-assessment to know the current level of your students • Formal and Informal • Examples? • Example • Pre-quiz, 5 questions • 4 makes mastery, 80% • My students knew this is the goal

12. Grouping your Students • Basic, Grade level and Advanced(Tier 1, 2 and 3…RTI) • Make your groupings from your pre-assessment • Whole group and small group instruction • Self-learners(Advanced) • Make use of technology • Independent study • Use different levels of questioning

29. Assessment…..Post-Quiz • I used the same quiz for a pre and post quiz(test-wiseness??) • I ALWAYS had the core standard(s) we are learning on the quizzes and in our notes…….gives students some real world relevance to ISTEP • Choice Board assessments • DATA, DATA, DATA
