Method:
Multiple assessments such as; National Tests, State Tests,
Achievement Tests, End of Book Tests, Chapter Tests, Writing Assessments,
Skills Assessments, Portfolios, Rubrics, Teacher Evaluations, Letter
Grades, etc. are evaluated to determine
instructional needs. Children with similar instructional needs are grouped
to form learning communities. The configuration of each learning community
continually changes as each student’s instructional needs change over
time. Since students are appropriately grouped for instructional needs,
expectations are high for each student.
