The name says it all. We all know that giving students directions and letting them go doesn't usually produce the desired results. Sure a few of the 'good' kids will get it, then it's easy to blame the rest for not following directions when the truth is they just didn't get it!
The Gradual Release of Responsibility instruction model is totally logical and focuses on a process of modeling and practice in chunks until students are really ready and confident to do on their own.
Here are some resources-- please feel free to add more!
