Whole class instruction is when teachers present a lesson to the whole class with little differentiation in either content or assessment for any student's ability.

The purpose of whole class instruction is that all students are presented with a series of learning tasks to allow them to acquire and/or practice their learning. The pace of instruction is such that all students can master it.  Learning is then assessed using standardised measures such as graded assignments or topic tests.

Whole Group Instruction is used during ELA(English Language Art), Math, Writing, Science, and Social Science Lessons.
