Workflow Infographic
Many teachers keep those who need the most help at the front of the room and check in with them more often. A clipboard with a printed student roster is helpful to keep track of supports provided and the part that each student is working on. Here is an example. Although some students may feel as if they are being punished to be assigned a front of the room seat, it is important that the teacher builds realtionships with these kids and conveys the message that they just want to help the student find success. As soon as they have figured out some strategies to help them become more self-directed, they will have more choices in where they sit. It is also important that the teacher does not make a big deal about where groups are seated to avoid embarressing anyone who is moving more slowly through the curriculum. The idea is to respect that we all learn at different paces and in different ways and provide student choice in where they sit. |
