Life-skills / teacher of record
You own the classroom language environment. Device out before the lesson. Question of the day on TouchChat. You model, wait, and send Friday tallies. You do not program.
This day
- 1Morning: device unzipped and in reach before he sits. TouchChat is already open.
- 2Question of the day lives on HIS homepage, not only on a worksheet.
- 3Core word of the week posted. Model it in morning meeting, a read-aloud, and one academic block.
- 4Score the device answer. Pencil is not the output.
- 5The aide knows Word Finder. You do not send them into Edit.
- 6Keep the practice log. A blank block means the device was not in reach or nobody modeled.
