187. If Your Small Groups Keep Getting Interrupted, Listen to This
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do your small groups keep getting interrupted by students who won't get started, stop working halfway through, or constantly ask for help?
Those interruptions aren't random—they're giving you valuable information about what's working (and what's not) in your classroom routines.
In this episode, I'll walk you through the five most common student behaviors I look for while teaching a small group and explain what each one tells me about what to adjust before back-to-school. Instead of trying to fix everything at once, you'll learn how to identify the one change that will have the biggest impact on student independence.
Whether you teach in a resource room, self-contained classroom, or inclusion setting, this episode will help you spend less time putting out fires and more time teaching your students.
