Pre-assessment Survey :check: 
Group 2
This group of students are the 12 students who have some knowledge about the topic as shown in their score, but need to develop higher order thinking skills
Differentiation Strategies: These students are working on curriculum that is at-level, but they can benefit from learning situations that cognitively challenge them.
Homogeneously grouping students improves learning outcomes because it can positively challenge students. They benefit from the following differentiation strategies:
1) Create learning stations
2) Use think-pair-share
3) Allow students to reflect on their learning
4) Group problem solving projects
5) Teach Up
6) Choice assignments
7) Opportunity to work collaboratively in smaller groups; allow for independent work
8) Group assignment checklists for monitoring
9) Inquiry based instruction
10) Educational apps: Quizlet, Kahoot, Quizziz, Socrativ
Assessments
There are two types of assessments: formative and summative. Formative is meant to guide instruction. Summative assessments show mastery or knowledge about a topic. They can also be used to level up the students.
Types to track learning:
1) Group projects
2) Checklist
3) Summative assessments
4) Observations
5) Questioning
6) Discussions
Group 1
This group of students are the 5 students who answered most, including the most difficult, of the pre-assessment questions correctly.
Differentiation Strategies: When working with gifted learners, it is important to consider their needs. They require alternate learning situations that challenge their strengths and interests.
1) Self-directed activities
2) Opportunities to research interests
3) Use advanced materials
4) Assign creative assignments that require sustained concentration
5) Ask higher level questions
6) Opportunities to deepen knowledge in a subject area
7) Solve real world problems
8) Assign student roles
9) Independent learning opportunities
10) Assign group roles
11) Digital/educational apps
Assessments: There are two types of assessments: formative and summative. Formative is meant to guide instruction. Summative assessments show mastery or knowledge about a topic and typically they are end of unit tests.
Types to track learning:
1) Journal prompts
2) Use of rubrics
3) Peer and Self-assessments
4) Checklist
5) Summative Assessments
6) Projects and presenetations
Group 3
The group has 5 students who appear to have limited knowledge about the topic, of which 3 are struggling with language and are at different reading levels and 2 students who have little to no comprehension of the the topic and need to be tested further for special needs
Differentiation Strategies: For these students, it is important to provide remediation to increase their knowledge. Since all students learn differently, it is recommended to use various teaching methods.

As a high school Health Science teacher, I would begin by giving the students a survey to assess their knowledge about the content. The questions would include multiple choice questions. Results from the survey will be used to create homogenous groups of students. While the students are watching a video about the topic, I will group the students based on the survey results. The groups will work together on different assignments based on their knowledge of the curriculum.
Gifted learners have different needs than their peers, and they benefit from the following:
