Flexible Grouping

As student performance will vary it is important to permit movement between groups.  Student's readiness varies depending on personal talents and interests, so we must remain open to the concept that a student may be below grade level in one subject at the same time as being above grade level in another subject. 

Flexible grouping allows students to be appropriately challenged and avoids labeling a student's readiness as static. Students should not be be kept in a static group for any particular subjects as their learning will probably accelerate from time to time.

Students will be working in "flexible" groups this school year, so they may be moved in and out of a group depending on what is best for their learning needs at particular times throughout the school year.
