3. Assessment and Future Instruction
Results from students’ class work, quizzes, and tests will be used to determine future instruction.
Mastery of the topic by 80% or more of the students will result in instruction moving to a new topic.
Mastery by less than 80% of the students will result in further instruction of the material using additional graphic organizers to manipulate the content.

4. Grouping Students are grouped together as shoulder partners.
Every 3 to 4 weeks partners are reassigned randomly through pulling cards.
Partners remain together for 3 to 4 weeks unless separated due to behavior. A student who is separated from his/her partner will work alone until the next reassignment at which time the student will be eligible for a partner.
In the event of an “odd man out” situation, the extra student will work alone, substitute when a student is absent, or work with a group as assigned by the teacher.
In quizzing/testing situations, students will work individually.

5. Differentiation
A variety of methods are incorporated to accommodate the needs of individual learner’s throughout lessons such as:
Discussion (whole group, partners, and teams)
Visuals (graphic organizers, charts, pictures, videos, etc.)
Note taking
Text features
