Small groups work best when they respond to what your students actually need, not when they just fill a slot on a rotation chart.
This toolkit walks you through building that skill one week at a time. No fluff. No complicated theories. Just practical strategies that work.
What you’ll do each week
Week One: Understand why small-group instruction matters, and why it’s bigger than intervention.
Week Two: Decide who belongs at the table and build flexible groups around real need.
Week Three: Know what to do once students are sitting with you.
Week Four: Build a system that’s sustainable in a real classroom, with real routines and a real schedule.
Every week ends with a short, low-stakes challenge: one group, one target, one small step. You don’t need to implement everything at once.
What’s inside
Four weeks of practical guidance for grades K–8
The TTR Small-Group Cycle and the Connect → Model → Practice → Check lesson structure
Try It pages you fill in as you go
A one-page cheat sheet with every framework
A reusable planning sheet
A reusable tracking log
Who it’s for
Classroom teachers, interventionists, and instructional coaches who want small groups that are purposeful and manageable, whether you’re brand new or have been teaching for years.
