115. Oops, You’re Over-Prompting! Let’s Fix That

Oops, you might be over-prompting! Let's fix that. 

Ever feel like your students could do more on their own—if only they weren’t so used to getting help? You’re not alone! In this episode, we’re diving into the prompt hierarchy and how using it the right way (and training  paraprofessionals to do the same) can increase student independence instead of creating dependence on adult support.

🔹 What is a prompt hierarchy, and why does it matter?
🔹 How to train paraprofessionals to fade support instead of over-prompting
🔹 The one small shift that makes a BIG difference in student independence

Whether you feel like you’ve got this down or you need a quick refresher, this episode will help you refine your approach so students get just the right amount of support—no more, no less!
