MODULE 6

How can I help my students become self-directed learners?
This is difficult because if the children are not trained in the beginning of the year to work at a self directed pace then they will play around during a self directed time. The best way to accomplish this is to start out slowly to learn how to be self directed, say with centers activites. If a child is not working indepenedetly and being self directed then consistant consequences will ensue until they are properly trained. Then move to a small project such as a craft and so on. This should take the first quarter. After the class is trained on how to work indepedently and have self control then projects can be introduced.

How can I support the diverse needs of learners?
Higher functioning students can work with lower functioning, students with anxiety can ge assured more, resource teachers and aides are good support systems to bounce ideas off of for specific studnet needs.
