Using Data to Determine NeedsUsing Data to Determine Needs
– Data Driven Differentiation: At CSA we continually filter through all the available data to meet the needs of our High Achieving students .
– During whole group, small group, or stations students are given formative and summative assessments that focus on the standards that help students move forward with the project.
– 21st century skills are embedded in all lessons. These skills are the foundation skills for the global workforce.
– Through student driven projects we insert benchmarks that push students to achieve high expectations.
Leveled and Mixed GroupingLeveled and Mixed Grouping
– Leveled Grouping: During station time two stations are leveled; Language Arts and Math. High achieving students are at these stations on Monday and Tuesday.
– Mixed Grouping: The other 4 stations are mixed. This promotes collaboration and strengthens students leadership skills.
– Enrichment Groups: Students are also asked to work in enrichment groups that stretch their abilities. These groups focus on problem solving and rigorous content.
