During the direct instruction of literacy skills, Mr. Cox uses a grouping method that requires frequent monitoring of student progress. Students with a similar need, such as those that may be struggling with a newly learned concept or skill, are grouped to work together. That specific group is disbanded after the members demonstrate proficiency with the material. New groups are then formed to address other needs. This type of differentiated instruction is commonly referred to as:
