Although it looks simple, this visual schedule has been invaluable to me in organizing the morning with the students. When I started my practicum the morning was a difficult transition time for a lot of students.
“where are you in our routine?” is a really gentle reminder. When I first put this up I saw students would walk up to it to check where they are. Now students know the plan. Students are way more independent this way- they know the expectations.
