Jasmine Ercink from Discovery provides independence for her EL students through the use of a To Do List that incorporates alternating colors, clear signs for Need, Do, Put, Then, and pictures. Because she posts it in the same spot every day, she ensures that her students can refer to it throughout the independent activity which supports their success and independence.
This To Do List was created by a substitute. When asked if any students had questions, they were typed in immediately and matched the already existing colors. The substitute ensured that students understood the To Do List with added information by going over it one more time and asking for any further questions.
