Coach Lusk used student Lexile scores to create the above seating chart for her 9th Lit. inclusion class.
I LOVE this chart because:
SMART Strategy - Chaos/Disruption is minimized because students don't have to move for partners/groups - Student frustration is minimized because a "high scoring" student is not doing all the work - Students feel more comfortable reading out loud with students who are closer to their reading level
* Share how you group students using various types of data! *
I LOVE this chart because:
- Students are sitting next to their PALS partner - the class roll is split so that a high scoring student is partnered with a mid scoring student
- Not only are they already sitting by their PALS partner, but they are also (strategically) placed in cooperative learning groups of 4 according to their Lexile scores
