A warm, candid classroom scene where a teacher reviews a tablet showing a colorful bar chart with class average and standard deviation and a clear three-step graphic: 1) Diagnose (quiz sheet, clipboard, quick observation checklist), 2) Decide (icons for Remediation, Enrichment, Practice, Project, Social), 3) Form Groups (sticky notes with student names and a rotating-group schedule). In the foreground diverse small student groups collaborate at tables around a visible digital timer set to 20–40 minutes; a whiteboard in soft focus shows a simple flowchart and a reminder to rotate frequently. Natural daylight, shallow depth of field, realistic textures and expressions give a high-resolution, documentary-style portrayal of data-driven grouping in action.
  1. Diagnose
    • Use a quick quiz, entrance ticket, performance task, or observation.
    • Calculate class average and standard deviation if you like numbers — a big spread = justification to group for targeted teaching.
  2. Decide the purpose
    • Remediation? Enrichment? Practice? Project work? Social rebuilding?
  3. Form groups and decide duration
    • Short and flexible (20–40 minutes) for skill workshops.
    • Multi-session (2–5 lessons) for deep projects or scaffolded remediation.
    • Rotate frequently so no student is “always the struggling group.”
