Creating Reading Groups and PLC's

I have learned a lot in class that I have applied to the classroom. I think the activity we did with the student data and placing them into groups has been extremely helpful. In my current placement (5th grade), the teachers have to place the students into intervention groups each week based on data from the previous weeks benchmark tests.

I feel more prepared on how to place my students into groups. The activity really gave me an insight on how to groups students and what to do when you have many students who need help. Without this activity, I would have no idea what to do or where to even start. It also helped me work collaboratively with my PLC members. In my internship classroom, my corresponding teacher is the 5^th grade PLC leader and I see how PLC’s work and how it is important to be able to work together.
