| I work with students with EH and find that transitions are some of the hardest things for them to do. I'm always preping them for the next transition. I guess you'd say I'm a clock watch, but I'll start cueing the students at about 15 minutes before the end of the activity or lesson. Then at 10 minutes, 7 minutes, 5 minutes, and then every minute after that. I also tell them it's a transiton and they need to be ready to move on to the next thing. For the most part it works great for the kids, and as a matter of fact it helps keep the teachers and others in the room on task and ready to move on as well. |

That is a great tactic to help students keep pace during an activity and may encourage them to be mindful of the clock, themselves.

I'm an art teacher and my students work at various levels of intensity and interest. I assign a project and let them know when it is due. I tell them how many studio periods and give it to them in writing via mini syllabus.
If the student finishes the project before the due date, she can either evaluate it and continue to work or do a "free" art project. When the student has not finished, I collect it anyway and display it "in progress".
It's valuable for the artist and the community to see how the work is done. If the student wants to finish the project, she can do so, but it's not required. |

| I teach a senior history course. When I give a large reading assignment, I tell them that they only have thirty minutes during study hall in order to read it (Study halls at my school are 1 hour and fourty-five minutes long). If a student can finish the entire reading in that time. Great! If they cannot, I tell them to stop and continue with another classes' homework. In class the next day, I check to see how far they got into the assignment. Those who did not finish are not penalized. (Only those who did not attempt the work!) The goal is to get them to read more and more as the weeks and months go by. In class I will lecture about the reading, giving those who did not finish an opportunity to take notes from the board. Those who finished the entire reading are often called upon to verbally help their peers understand the material. |

| I teach Chinese for the middle and high school students. When I give a weekly writing assignment or a long-term project, I will help them to outline the stages and time frame for completing them. For example, after we finish a text about family, the students will have a writing assignment to introduce their own family. I will guide them to finish this task in several steps. First, I will ask the students to use 20 minutes to review the new vocabulary they learned about this topic after class. In the next day's class, I will give them a quiz on the vocabulary. Secondly, I will divide the students into two or three groups, and do a competition--ask them to work together to write many sentences as they can by using the vocabulary they did in quiz. Thirdly, after this class, they will use twenty to thirty minutes to write their own. Fourthly, they bring their draft to class, and do the peer editing in class. Finally, they present their own writing verbally in class, the rest of them take notes while one is presenting. Then I will ask the rest students some questions based on the presenter's story. |

As a Cosmetologist Teacher in a High School level, I explain from the begininning that timing is everything from Theory,Practical and Stateboard testing. I have each student buy a timer from the Dollar Tree and it has to come to class daily. And each subject is timed.
As they practic these skills they keep a notebook for assignment and keep a daily log of how they are doing. they study in the producer first and get the fundamentals down. Then
practic the skills, they get better at the skill and working knowledge the timing also gets even better. Example'' learning and memorizing how to do a basic haircut normally starts with new students about 1 or 2 hours. And them they memorize the procedure and practice this skill and within weeks sometimes months,then they get it down to 20 minutes that is required by myself and the StateBoard of Cosmetology. Also making them relize the importance of timing is the confidence and speed they need to succeed and make several hundred dollars a day or just make a few. And they also understand that they need this timing down in order to pass the final test, And that is the State Test . And it is my responibility to make sure none of my student's fell. IF they fell then so do I. But remember you also have to make it fun, so that they enjoy the composition. And remembering the inportance of knowing how to read and get only the right information from it, instead of trying to remember every last word. And apply math into the course of study,also the science that they learn in middle school. For the slower students I do hand 's on training and they seem to comprehened it better. If they see and feel it then break it down uinto word assication. Like parafennelldiamond is a pair of phoney diamonds . So have fun and feal your way thru and the young person can do it if help them develope confidence into them selves with love, and kindness.Just remember as they learn time management they must live it in there daily lives, and some need a little help more then other's .
