Problem
Many students struggle to work independently and/or participate in group discussion.
Hypothesis
If students can access a mini-lesson asynchronously , then they can catch up or get clarification, as measured by the number of students asking the teacher for help.
Target group
Students who produce quality work but only when I’m sitting with them. Shortly after I walk away they lose focus.
Data collection

Baseline data
Ed Hawkins tallied the number of students who waited on me for clarification.
Measuring success
By the decreasing number of students who were waiting vs. the number of students were working and supporting each other.
Overall findings & impact

Actionable steps
If you want to use this strategy in your classroom, I recommend …
First target one or two particular groups and collect data on them.
