Independent skills matter just as much as academic skills.
A simple turn-in bin is a great classroom system because students learn to:
• finish tasks independently
• follow routines
• practice executive functioning
• build confidence

The smallest classroom systems usually make the biggest impact.

Students know exactly what to do during transitions because the same songs are used every single day.
Less confusion.
More independence.
Smoother routines.
