Concept‐ProgressInnovativeGroupingandScheduling
TheconsultantshaveheardconcernsaboutremedialservicesandAISservicesforstudents,perhapsrelatedtothefairlyrecentconsolidation,orotherwise.AsdiscussedattheAugustFACmeeting,oneofthemodelsthedistrictmaywanttoinvestigateistheConceptProgressModel.FACmembersindicatedtheywantedsomeinformationregardingthemodelsowearesupplyingithere.
Generally,thesemodelsintroducethenotionthatgroupingstudentsatdifferenttimesacrossanarrayofsamegradelevelteachersmaybettermeettheneedsofstudentswhoneedmoretimetolearnconcepts,whileatthesametimenotdoingsoattheexpenseoffurtherlearningonthebehalfofstudentswhodidunderstandtheconcepts.Wefirststartedhearingaboutmodelslikethisinthemid‐ninetiesafterthelandmark“NationAtRisk”studywasproducedandstatesstartedimprovinglearningstandards.Today,wefind
