One thing I do to encourage collaboration is to make at least one activity in each lesson a partner activity. Sometimes this is a Must Do activity, so collaboration is required to complete it. I also may assign partners during our launch at the beginning of the class period. 

At times, I also pull groups during self-pacing. During small group instruction, I will have all of the students on a specific activity work on the activity as a group or in pairs with me. 

Finally, I have whole-group check-in lessons throughout the unit. At this time, I use whole-group discussions and small group/partner activities to address any misconceptions and misunderstandings I have noticed when reviewing guided notes, practice activities, or mastery checks. 

One-on-one instruction: I utilize one-on-one instruction on a regular basis. I typically pull Tier 3 students, students with IEPs, and students who are more than two days behind pace. I use this time to meet their needs by making accommodations, working on remedial skills when necessary, or helping them make a plan to catch up.  

Small group instruction: I use small group instruction in two ways during self-paced units. I primarily use my small group instruction to teach guided reading and reading skills groups. During this time, I teach phonics skills, encoding, decoding, guided reading, and guided writing to small groups based on their individual needs. I also have this time set aside to pull students who are struggling with the concepts on mastery checks and practice activities. 

Whole group instruction: Throughout each unit, I plan to have 2-3 whole group sessions. I use these lessons for reading aloud, project-based activities, and class discussions. I also use this time to address misconceptions in the content. To do this, I do an error analysis or find a similar activity and work through it as a whole group.  

Utilize the digital resources your school/district offers. I use IXL, Edmentum, and Brain-pop throughout units. Students love them, and it saves me time when looking for resources.
