Tutoring and Small Group Instruction

I am not as familiar with tutoring in a resource teacher position. I have never used this strategy where students come with assignments that need to be completed and they need my extra support. I always have had my own program for my students or I co-teach and spend time in the classroom. I would however, like to try this strategy on my modified grade 8 math students. In grade 9 they will be attending a resource elective class where they receive tutoring from resource room teachers in a small group setting. To make this transition easier for them I would like to offer them the same tutoring class. These students would received adapted/modified instruction from their classroom teacher and come to me for strategic tutoring sessions.
Small group instruction is used often in my current practice. I pull out five grade 1 students for additional support in early literacy and co-teach with the grade 1 and 2 teachers for guided reading. I enjoy guided reading because I will eventually have taught all students in the classroom, not just students who need extra support. Groups switch every 6-8 weeks and all students observe me assisting everyone.
