Station Teaching

Today, I witnessed a nice example of Station Teaching at Barr Middle School with Carol Jurgensmeier and Kim Wagner.  They had 6 stations set up and students were given 8 minutes at each station to work with a Language Arts concept in a cooperative learning setting.  Peer support as well as teacher small-group support was provided.  The best part about this activity was that the small-group remediation for the various concepts were centered on concepts that had previously been identified through assessment (Acuity) as concepts that this particular class needed more work with.  A great example of using formative assessment to drive instruction.
