Episode 97: Using Task Boxes as Independent Work Stations
Today’s guest is someone I’ve looked up to for a long time, both as an teacherpreneur and as a colleague within the field of special education.
Jennifer DeBrosse of Positively Learning has been in education for over 25 years working in the inclusion setting, resource room, and most recently as a special education instructional coach.
Like myself, she’s all about supporting other teachers. She works diligently to give special educators their time back - from getting organized and streamlining systems to increasing student engagement and independence.
"The purpose of task boxes is to help the student grow in independence." -Jennifer DeBrosse
And speaking of independence, Jennifer recently featured “Independent Work Systems” as a topic of the month on her social media accounts and that’s what today's episode is all about.
Listen in as Jennifer and I discuss:
- What a task box is
- How to organize your task boxes
- What types of skills are good for task boxes
- What to use to store your task boxes
- How to take data
- What procedures/rules/routines should be put into place to make them independent
- How to train paraprofessionals in the task box system
- Where to get the materials for the task boxes
And MORE!
