181. Teacher Planning Made Easy: Start With the Skill, Not the Activity

Most teachers build independent work by finding things that look good. This episode is about doing it the other way around — starting with the skills your students actually need, before you open TPT or search for a single material.

This is the T in the TASKS Framework: Think it through.

In this episode:

• Why starting with activities instead of skills is what keeps independent work from ever really sticking
• Five questions to ask before you download anything
• How to write down three priority skills that become your filter for every independent work decision this year

Homework: Write down three priority skills before you search for a single material. That list is what you're bringing into next week.

This is episode 2 of 9 in the Special Educators Summer Series.
