Algebra 3
Cycle 3 11/7-11/26
Interventions for struggling students:
1. Flexible grouping
2. Present information in multiple formats (visual, graphic organizers).
3. Apply instructional model: instruction
guided practice
independent practice
4. Peer tutoring
5. Encourage students to be creative thinkers. (ask open-ended questions, give more real-world problems)
6. Use scaffolding strategies
7. Praise students accomplishment and give them credits for hard working.
8. Use online tutorial videos /assignments to help students to understand the concepts.
9. Communicate with parents whenever its needed, including informing their childrens improvements.
10. Extra help in 7th period or after school.
