I also have heard great things about the AVID program – two of the schools in my district have used it with great success.

to get the students to engage more I try to shape assignments towards their interests or have them dig deeper into something they like to read and learn about – then have them work the project or maths related to that area. I often share my own stories of experiences over my life and how I used the objective in my world.

Intervention activities including educational games and multi-step activities for students who need guidance and have IEP/504 to work on chunking items.During my mah small group I also like to go over methods for students to use when they don’t know their basic facts so they have tools to help them evaluate problems when they can’t use a calculator

My concern is on how to handle the students who needs lots of extra time and go slow like sloths.
In addition, I’ve tried some of this in the past with my language arts class, and given students a choice in choosing pre-selected activities for a grade – I’ve gotten backlash from parents saying it’s too much choice for their child, and that’s why it didn’t get done. Then there is the deadline that is often missed.
