183. Clear Start. Clear Work. Clear Finish. | The Secret to Independent Work
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There is a difference between a task a student can do and a task a student can do independently.
Most classroom activities are designed for the first. Independent work requires the second.
In this episode, we're talking about one of the most important parts of building an independent work system: setting up the task itself.
Every independent task needs three things:
• A clear start
• A clear work signal
• A clear finish
This week's challenge is simple: choose one task, find one gap, and make one change.
