Small Group Instruction in the Secondary ESL Classroom

School's back in session. You've got students on your roster, some beginners, some intermediate, some pretty fluent and just need a push.

And somehow, you're supposed to “work your magic” and teach all of them at that one small group table.

No curriculum. No plan.

So you end up on TPT, searching, hoping whatever you find is leveled, cohesive, and actually fits into the time you've got.

If you've ever sat down at your table and thought "okay, what do I actually do with this group?," this training is for you.

Here's what we're covering

• How to figure out what your group actually needs based on proficiency level, skill gaps, and where they are right now

• How to decide what to teach and choose resources that actually fit your students

• How to structure your small group time without rushing or trying to cram in ALL the things

• Why small group is where you can really differentiate when you have multiple proficiency levels

• How to pair students for stations so the rest of your class can keep working while you're at the table

Whether you're pulling students for 20 minutes or using small groups during a full ESL/ELD class period, you'll leave knowing what to do when you sit down at that table.

This is the only live training I'm doing on small group instruction this year.

It's 100% free and open to everyone, and I'm leaving time at the end for live Q&A, so bring whatever you've been trying to figure out.

Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and bring your questions. ☕️🍷
