Russell Larson, an Instructional Administrator at Elgin High School, joins Virginia Keasler and JC Sanders to explore why and how we can incorporate small group instruction in our Algebra 1 classroom. Episode 4 digs into a deep discussion about flexible, homogenous, and heterogeneous grouping and the importance of letting students be social while working out difficult Algebra concepts. The benefits of working in small groups are many and the podcast is loaded with where to start and how to sustain facilitated groups.
