When I first started to blend my classroom, I used the NWEA test to help guide me through the skills that the students needed lo learn. My lessons focused in on:
I used the NWEA DesCartes to help generate lessons based on those three questions.
- Where is the individual student now?
- What does the individual student already know?
- What is the individual student ready to learn?
I used the NWEA DesCartes to help generate lessons based on those three questions.
Now as a blended learning coach, I take those same questions into the classroom to help the teachers guide their lessons and create a blended learning environment. (Of course if they are not using NWEA, we find other formative assessments to gather the data to drive the teacher's unit planning)
Below are just a few of the resource links that I have found and created to help a group of third grade teachers to start to blend.

Are you using the NWEA test for the first time? Take a look at the following resources that are available for teachers. MAP Resources for teachers
Using Symbaloo to Indivualize or group
The teachers that I am working with on creating blended learning classrooms want an easy way to send individual students or groups of students to online resources that meet their current learning level. The easiest way I have found to post links and resources by ability level is to create symbaloo pages based on RIT scores. Below are links that I created this week for a third grade math classroom that is getting ready to explore area and perimeter as a unit topic.
Math Symbaloo Links by Rit Scores
I will continue to add in resources and links to the different levels based on the objectives that the teacher will be teaching to the small groups or individual students.
