Individualizing Practice

I've been trying to figure out all year how I was going to utilize the new assessment my school started using.   Essentially, every few months the students are tested on each of the Common Core standards they are supposed to be learning by the end of the year.

I can then pull up reports letting me know where each student is struggling or where they are right on track.  The kids hate the testing part, but in truth it’s not that bad.

I finally decided that I’m going to be putting together an individualized program for each student based upon which standards they are struggling with.

Every week, each student will be required to turn in a special paper designed with a particular standard they need help with.  Not every student will have the same work. 

It will be a lot of trees and time killed  on my part; but I think it will have a positive impact on their over all learning and achievement.

I will let you know how this goes.
