Small Group Plans Template Editable

About this resource

One planner for the teacher who pulls small groups every week, in one fillable PDF: a group roster, six group setup cards, a weekly rotation, a four-week cycle, a one-week plan and a one-session plan for each group, independent stations for everyone else, session notes, progress notes by student, a regroup review, a monthly roll-up, a family and team update, a hand-off for the adult covering your groups, a phrase bank and a filled-in example. Type the roster and the group cards once; the plan pages are fast with a pen at the table.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader or Preview, click a line or a box, type, press Tab to move on, and Save As. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc or an Excel workbook, and it does not add up the roll-up for you.

It is not a curriculum and not a placement rule. It does not say which skill a group needs or when a student should move: the skill words are yours, and the regroup page has a blank line for your school's own rule. The student names in the example are invented, and no student information is pre-filled.

Who This Is For

General education teachers, special education teachers and interventionists who run small groups, and the co-teacher, paraprofessional or substitute who covers them for a day.
