Episode Synopsis

What happens when we have independent work systems set up for our students, but they aren’t completing them in the allotted independent work time? The whole point of independent work systems is for students to get their work done independently and in a certain amount of time so they can do the thing they want to do. But we all know that that is not always the case.If your students aren’t completing their work during independent work time, there are some ways you can problem-solve to help them be successful in completing their work system. When I see situations where students are not completing their independent work, I generally ask certain questions to try to figure out what is going on. In this episode, I am sharing 3 questions to ask if a student isn’t completing their work during independent work time and what to try next.04:54 - How to determine if the student has the right task for independent work time07:35 - Why having a finished basket is key for many students to finish their work10:06 - How students must know what to do when they finish their tasks14:43 - Tips for what to do next if your student is still not finishing their workShow Notes: http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode205Resources:Check out my TpT store for Independent Work ResourcesWatch the Independent Work Systems WebinarGet My Book: Building Independence: How to Create and Use Structured Work Systems - Future Horizons PublishersShop my Book: Building Independence: How to Create and Use Structured Work Systems on Amazon (Affiliate Link)Join the Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library Get more information about the Special Educator AcademyJoin the Free Facebook Group If you're enjoying this podcast, could you please take a quick moment to leave your review on Apple Podcasts?
