154. Should Students Be Working on the Same Goals or Tasks Every Week?

Is it okay to keep the same tasks in your independent work system week after week?

Until it’s a no. 😅

In this episode of the Special Educators Resource Room, we’re digging into why repetition is powerful—and when it quietly slides into busywork.

🎧 You’ll learn:

• The green flags for repeating tasks (yes, on purpose!)
• The subtle signs your system needs a refresh
• A teacher-friendly trick for rotating tasks without burning out
