Introduction

–ChallengesDeveloping Routines and ProceduresStructuring our classroomsDesigning reading/writing/math centers

**So our students know exactly what to do where to go independently

Page 7: Teacher’s PD

In the Beginning. . .

– Need to be aware of two thingsEstablishing the “what”Establishing the “how”

Page 8: Teacher’s PD

(Cont. )

– The first day or two is spent establishing the routines and procedures that will enable the students to work independently.

**This is not in which students are working by themselves as individuals but for them to be able to make decisions about what they need to do, where to store and locate materials, how to spend their time, where to get help etc.

Outgrowing our schedule

Consider combining work times into larger blocks so that students can focus on reading and writing as it suits their needs and purpose

Students eventually make decisions about the work they want to engage in and how best to use their 1st work time of the day
