Manage episode 449760268 series 3550759
🎯 Key Takeaways
✔️ Prompt Dependence Defined: Understanding prompt dependence and its impact on students’ ability to act independently.
✔️ Choosing the Right Prompting Strategy: Not all learners benefit from the same prompts! Learn how to assess if most-to-least or least-to-most is right for your learner.
✔️ The Power of the Pause: Pausing before prompting gives learners a chance to respond independently, which is key for fostering confidence and autonomy.
✔️ Prompt Fading Tips: Systematic fading strategies, including time delay, encourage independence by gradually removing prompts as learners build confidence.
✔️ Reinforcement Matters: Reinforce independent responses more than prompted ones to build self-reliance. Independence should always yield the biggest reward!
