KEA Jump Start 2012 EXAMPLES GoodBetter I have shown students how to do a math problem. I modeled the correct procedure for completing the math problem. My student worked in small groups to list ideas for their commercial. My students brainstormed commercial ideas in small cooperative groups. I decided how to organize my lesson based on the students’ disabilities in my classroom. I differentiated my instruction in order to accommodate each of my student’s needs. Students did not do well on the test. I decided to work with those students and help them better prepare for the final test. After analyzing the formative assessment results, I designed individualized tutoring sessions for my students scoring at 70% or lower. Because of this, students had the opportunity to prioritize and pursue ways to strengthen their knowledge.
