Independent practice is a key part of the instructional process. Students need the practice using the skills and strategies that they have learned during the lesson. Some students may still need supports to be able to complete tasks in the independent setting. Providing supports for students can help move them to mastery of the standards.

When planning independent learning for students, teachers want to provide a gentle nudge for students to think and work with skills and strategies at a higher level. Students need supports to be able to problem solve independently. Without supports, students become frustrated. Frustration has a negative impact on student achievement.
Teacher-student dependency
Teacher-student dependency
Independence is the key to mastery. Students need to see that they can use the skills and strategies that they have learned in the classroom on their own to complete rigorous tasks. Supports that enable them to be independent are vital to this process. When students are dependent on the teacher to support them in their work, this causes a negative impact on their achievement.
