10 students in the IPC integrated physics and chemistry class/ 4 have modified instruction and assignments, the rest are on-level students. All 3 modified students who use a mixture of the accommodations, repeated review, and check for understanding. Break assignments into smaller parts,12 step directions, and extended time, and preferential seating. Create random data for how they did on the assignment.
For this assignment, select an assessment you’ve previously given and use the data to group students. Then use the data to determine the next steps for instruction for each group. Assessments may be:
- Summative (comprehensive assessment, lab report, project)
- Formative (independent reading record, observations, exit ticket, short quiz)
As you analyze the data, group students and align instruction with their specific needs as indicated by the data:
- Which students got it, kind of got it, or didn’t get it at all?
- Do students need the same intervention or individualized supports?
- Which research-based instructional strategies or interventions are best for each group?
Please note: If you determine that some students do not align with any established grouping categories, provide a clear rationale for this decision and outline how you will address their unique learning needs.
