Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Make and revise a short, realistic plan that includes a necessary task, a break and a chosen activity.
Ask the learner to split packing a bag into two steps. Offer a fictional learner throughout; no disclosure about homework or diagnoses is required.
Check learner readiness separately; the existence of a prerequisite lesson is not evidence of attainment.
Use the supplied task cards and timeline. A clock is optional; do not impose a speed test. Choose an accessible stopping point together.
Record actual responses, assistance and access mode; never invent observations or infer mastery.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Fictional planning cannot establish management of the learner's own attention or completion without reminders. Real observation remains optional and conditional.
Record actual responses, assistance and access mode; never invent observations or infer mastery.
Family records and proof options
Keep a record of your learning

Check understanding
- Create a simple plan for completing multiple tasks in a sensible order
- Identify their own common distractions and describe strategies to manage them
- Complete a less enjoyable task before a more enjoyable one without constant reminders
“When your child has homework to finish but also wants to play a game, can they manage their time — doing the homework first or setting a timer — rather than always needing you to enforce it?”
