GRo makes it easier to organize lesson plans, student anecdotal notes, assessment data and track your small group differentiated instructions.

"The Must-Have App For Teaching Guided Reading" - Alison from Learning at the Primary Pond

GRō is available on both the iPhone and iPad. This is a Universal app, so both devices are fully-featured and work hand-in-hand.

Small groups/differentiated instruction is an extremely effective method of teaching that benefits both teachers and students. Designed by educators for educators, GRō was created to help you put time back in your day by making guided reading and other differentiated instruction easier and more efficient. No longer will you need to continually update paperwork and track groups, notes, and assessment data in multiple binders. Whether you are a classroom teacher or a specialist, you can now organize multiple classes and groups, create and implement lesson plans, and track student data and class assessments – all in one place!

Integrate GRō into your existing guided reading and differentiated group instruction routine:

• Create a roster where you can store personalized information to help track every student’s needs and progress.
• Create groups to organize students. Groups are fully customizable with unique names, colors, and meeting time. Update groups and students as often as needed. Take notes on each group to track progress, keep notes from lessons, or plan for future lessons and goals.
• Use the calendar to keep organized and on track. See lesson plans at a glance to help manage your schedule.
• Option to choose between a general lesson plan template or a clean, simple and consistent guided reading template.
• Each lesson plan will be stored so that you only have to write it once. Use a lesson plan over and over again for different groups with the duplication feature.
• Take anecdotal notes (written and audio) on each student. Notes taken on lesson plans are automatically collected and stored within the student’s profile.
• Track whole class assessments. Score each assessment with a customized numeric scale, alphabetic scale, or reading level type. Individual student scores will also be stored on each students' information page. Group assessments together to track individual student progress on related assessments such as running records.
• Track your students’ progress in each subject on their profile page. Use the student profile page for parent-teacher conferences.
