181. Teacher Planning Made Easy: Start With the Skill, Not the Activity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most teachers build independent work by finding things that look good. This episode is about doing it the other way around — starting with the skills your students actually need, before you open TPT or search for a single material.
This is the T in the TASKS Framework: Think it through.
In this episode:
- Why starting with activities instead of skills is what keeps independent work from ever really sticking
- Five questions to ask before you download anything
- How to write down three priority skills that become your filter for every independent work decision this year
Homework: Write down three priority skills before you search for a single material. That list is what you're bringing into next week.
This is episode 2 of 9 in the Special Educators Summer Series.
