Prompt:

Scenario #2

In a problem-solving session with a multi-disciplinary team, the determination is made that many of the Tier 2 students in the fourth-grade classes are not demonstrating positive responses to the small-group interventions that are being provided. The team's plan is to implement more explicit instruction in the Tier 2 small groups.

1. What are three ways in which this goal, making small group instruction more explicit, can be accomplished?

2. What are three elements of the current instruction that should be examined?

3. After implementing the changes, how will the fourth-grade teachers know if they have been successful in increasing the explicitness of their instruction
