One-on-one instruction: I love how much more additional time I have for one-on-one instruction in a Modern Classroom. I am constantly monitoring the public tracker during class and will specifically target students that have a revision but don't necessarily fall into one of my small groups. Of course, I additionally target students who are behind pace. I always try to check in and work one-on-one with each learner in this category during each class. This time may also be used to go over individual trackers and delete anything that’s not a Must Do so that they don’t feel so overwhelmed about getting caught up. 

Small group instruction: My small groups are mainly driven based on mastery checks. After each class, I sort students based on specific reteaching that they may need. I make my own notes and try to plan out my time to still allow for those one-on-one check-ins and instructions for students that don’t fall into the small group. Typically I will go over a problem and then have students try a problem on their own before revising their mastery check. Then, they are sent on their own to do the Should Do extra practice and retake.

Whole group instruction: I always plan a whole class review activity before assessments to ensure that I can answer questions as an entire class. Additionally, I try to start or end class with a whole class discovery or spiral review activity that doesn’t depend on where students are in the learning sequence. During this time, I can build an understanding of the material and address any common misconceptions.

I also create an "On-Pace Schedule" that is in my Playlist for students to reference. This lets them know when we have whole-group activities and when soft deadlines and hard deadlines occur.
