Thanks to your dedication to helping your students practice and master new skills all around your classroom, you are about to arrive at your final destination: Master Mile Marker!
The Beginning of your Journey
At the start of your school year, you led your students down each road and took time to stop and invest in their learning and understanding. You gave them the tools and information they needed to begin build confidence, competence, and independence all around your classroom.
The Middle of your Journey
You stayed consistent and grew your classroom and your routines as the children grew. You reminded the children as they needed reminded, and you supported their learning along the way. As you saw that your children needed new challenges in your classroom set up or in your routines, you tapped into that need which helped your children stay on course.
The End of your Journey
By the time you reach Master Mile Marker, your students are well equipped to work independently in your classroom. This is the time of year where you start saying, “These children could run the classroom all by themselves!” and they almost do.
If you constantly find….
- The children are not remembering what you taught them.
- You are back to doing things for the children.
- You find yourself repeating the directions to daily routines or tasks often.
- The children are always asking you to do things for them.
- The children are always asking what they should do next.
- The children are getting into mischief while you run about getting things done.
Then you need to gather up your students and go down Repeat Runway.
