When implemented correctly, independent work systems are amazing! It drives me crazy when people reduce them to busy work, because every single element within an independent work system exists for a reason. In this episode, I talk about the most common mistakes I see with these systems in classrooms and how you can avoid them so that your students can develop independence as quickly as possible.
3:21 - Why “program slippage” happens to both new and highly experienced classroom staff
5:29 - The students who still needed a place to finish
9:05 - The importance of a clear start and end to independent work tasks
9:56 - A certain kind of task I often see included that shouldn’t be
11:53 - Don’t make this mistake, especially with young kids
14:19 - A smart student who still needed this motivator to complete his work
17:26 - A useful tip to help you catch program slippage quickly
