Tuesday Tip – Learned Routines

If we don’t teach them a routine to accomplish a task, they will develop their own routine.  The problem results when the routine that they develop is not appropriate or efficient.  Once their routine is established, it is difficult to make changes.  Consequently, it is better to make sure that new tasks are learned in appropriate sequences.  It is also prudent to teach tasks and routines with a long-term view so students won’t have to spend valuable time unlearning behavior appropriate only for younger children to relearn more mature behavior as they get older.
