Visual Schedules

Why Visual Schedules?

• Helps students to be clear of the tasks to be done

• Makes classroom learning more structured

• Increases on-task behavior

• Helps students to be responsible for their own learning

• Encourages students when they check off the completed tasks

Implementing Visual Schedules

• Write down tasks to be done in point form on the white board or screen (if using PPT)

• Pictures and clipart might help make instructions more comprehensible

• Give individual visual schedule to students who need more support (e.g. usually slower to follow instructions)

• Individual schedules could be placed on the student’s desk

• Put a tick on task that have been completed to give students a sense of achievement
