Planning with your students in mind, means knowing your students and your class. Developing a class profile – where you consider the strengths, stretches and make up of the class is a great place to start. Related to the class profile might be individual student profiles. Teachers might create individual student profiles or even have students create their own profiles as a self-assessment opportunity. I love Shelley Moore’s templates for class and student profiles available here: https://blogsomemoore.com/shout-outs/templates/
