Episode 196: Step 6: My Problem With the 3 Bin Work Task System

The 3 Bin work task system is commonly used in special education classrooms. This structured teaching approach comes from the TEAACH method. This work task system provides significant structure for independent work tasks. For some students, this structure is necessary to build those independent skills. However, there are some big challenges for teachers to maintain the 3 bin work task system throughout the year. Some students may be ready for a new option that is easier to streamline and differentiate.

We all know visuals are important in the classroom. When setting up your classroom, make sure you have the right visuals in the right places. Visuals should be embedded into your classroom so you can readily utilize them. Post visuals by your classroom door that will be needed outside of the classroom. Make a list of visuals you need outside your room: for the bathroom, specials, lunch, etc. Store these visuals near the door for easy grab-and-go. -------------- The Autism Helper Curriculum is already utilized by thousands of teachers all over the world.

Episode 189: Step 3: Why You Should Move Away From Moveable Piece Schedules

Schedules with moveable pieces are great to provide substantial support and visual prompting for how to navigate the classroom.
