220: So You Need to Do Guided Instruction… What the Heck Should You Do With the Rest of Your Class?

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do with the rest of your class when you want to do guided reading with a small group?   That’s the question I hope I can answer for you in this episode. We’re digging into a bunch of different activities that you can use to allow you to focus on guided instruction while the rest of your students work independently.    Independent learning might not always look the way you want it to. It’s important to remember that different students work in different ways, and it’s okay if they aren’t silent and still the whole time that you’re working with a small group. What’s more important is that your students stay engaged in what they’re doing until you get back.    We’re talking about how to teach your students to work independently, what independent learning tasks should look like, and how to hold students accountable for the work they are assigned.   What are you going to try next time you need to do guided instruction? Tune in to get some ideas.    Show notes available at www.madlylearning.com/220   Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Ignited Math: www.madlylearning.com/ignitedmath Learn more about Ignited Literacy: https://www.ignitedliteracy.com/IL2021SP   I would love to connect on Facebook: http://facebook.com/MadlyLearning  I would love to connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madlylearningRemember to Subscribe for more insights on how to navigate the complexities of teaching with efficiency and impact.
