Small Group Learning

Small group learning, sometimes called small group tutoring, is a supplementary teaching method, delivered on a consistent basis for a pre-determined period, to support student learning in small groups (approximately 2-5 students). It is intended to reinforce classroom instruction.

Small group learning is provided for students who are not making expected progress with general classroom instruction and therefore require additional supports and tailored instruction. Small group learning is an evidence-based, tier 2 intervention within Eltham Primary School’s Multi-Tiered System of Support.
