CloseIn these videos, an educator helps a child learn to follow two-step directions by using the four steps of a Planned Instructional Sequence.
- Clip 1: Cue — the educator gives a group direction. She then turns her attention to a specific child who is learning to follow group directions.
- Clip 2: Offer Help — the educator gives the child a visual (a picture of the next activity, lining up) and draws her attention to it by pointing and asking, “What’s next?”
- Clip 3: Child Response — the child responds by putting her mat away and walking to the line.
- Clip 4: Feedback — the educator gives feedback by labeling the child’s action and moving to the next activity.
