Student Independence
What is it?
Freedom from the influence or control of others Completing a task without undo assistance Using resources to meet your personal needs Self-help (a.k.a. Self-advocating) Making appropriate choices and decisions Being able to say, “I can do it myself!”
![Page 8: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Student Independence
What is it?
Students…
“need a supportive environment to function successfully in school—and later in the workplace. A supportive environment enables them to capitalize on their strengths and minimize or cope effectively with their weaknesses” (Larkin, 2001)
![Page 9: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Student Independence
What is it?
Builds self-esteem Motivates a student to achieve Gives student a sense of purpose Social acceptance Reduces stereotypic labels Allows teachers to focus on instruction
![Page 10: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Student Independence
What does it look like?
Use of a planner to write down assignments Use of magnification software to read a text Using a joystick to manipulate a computer Use of pictures to guide task completion Use of an orthopedic device for walking Taking the elevator rather than the stairs Tying ones own shoes
![Page 11: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Student Independence
What is my role in building student independence?
Build your knowledge about strategies Help only when they cannot do it themselves Teach independence Offer support, as needed Build independence throughout the day

Scaffolding Instruction
![Page 13: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Scaffolding Instruction
Defined
“Scaffolded instruction is the “systematic sequencing of prompted content, materials, tasks, and teacher and peer support to optimize learning.”
(Dickson, Chard, & Simmons, 1993, p. 12)
![Page 14: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Scaffolding Instruction
Essential Features
Interaction takes place in a collaborative environment and honors the child’s intentions
Expectations are developmentally appropriate Support is gradually withdrawn as skills are
gained The child internalizes the knowledge and
becomes independent
![Page 15: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Scaffolding Instruction
Guidelines for Implementation
Identify what the student already knows Begin with what the student CAN do Help students achieve success quickly Help students to “be” like everyone else Know when it’s time to stop Help students be independent when they have
command of the activity
![Page 16: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Strategies to build independence
Cues/Prompts
Verbal or nonverbal signals that indicate what action is necessary
Example:
“Do you remember the 9/10 strategy
we learned yesterday?”
![Page 19: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Modeling
To demonstrate a behavior or completion of a task for the learner
Example:
25 50 75 $1.00
![Page 20: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Shaping
To teach a behavior or task by providing cues, models, and consequences for steps demonstrated gradually until the final behavior or task is learned
Example:
Wider-lined paper Narrower-lined paper
![Page 21: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Wait Time
The amount of time given to the student to respond to a question or complete a task
Example:
Question (wait 20 seconds)
No response? Rephrase the question.
![Page 22: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Fading
A gradual reduction of cues/prompts and extrinsic (outside) reinforcers as the student demonstrates desired behavior or task
![Page 23: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example
![Page 24: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Reinforcers
Any action or event that increases the likelihood that a behavior will occur Positive Reinforcer
Adding something desirable Example: “You have earned extra free time!”
Negative ReinforcerTaking away an aversive Example: “You only have to finish the first half of the worksheet”
![Page 25: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Reinforcers
Reinforcers that occur naturally
Example: David follows directions to silently read a story. He participates in class discussion. When the next story is assigned, David eagerly opens his book and reads.
![Page 26: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Strategies to build independence
Reinforcers
Reinforcers that are contrived (not naturally occurring) and are intentionally provided to increase the behavior or to ensure task completion
Example: Accelerated Reader Videogames (Score!)
Popcorn Party for good behavior
![Page 27: Levels of Support/ Levels of Prompting Paraeducator Training Series AIU 3 adapted from Lifelines, LRConsulting, Katy, TX](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d995503460f94a841b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
