I encourage collaboration by starting the year by talking about a growth mindset and the power of learning from others. If students prefer to work independently, I allow them to do so with the caveat that they have to check in with a peer for feedback when they finish a task. 

One-on-one instruction: One-on-one instruction is identified by two criteria. Students can request one-on-one instruction in class if they need extra help. Additionally, I select students to work with me if they are behind in a task or if their mastery check data indicates they need more assistance with the concept. 

Small-group instruction: Small-group instruction selection is similar to one-on-one instruction during class time. Typically, I group students struggling with a skill or concept as their mastery check data indicates. I have a special box on my slides that denotes small-group instruction. I let the students know to meet me at the small group table for extra help.

Whole-group instruction: Whole-group instruction is used when introducing a new concept requiring more in-depth or hands-on learning. Additionally, I use it for special class events like Socratic Seminars and mock trials. Alternatively, it can be used to reteach a concept that more than half of the class struggled to show mastery of.
