Where to Begin?!?
*video of student’s first day played here
![Page 5: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
It’s Not About the Academics!
![Page 6: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
It’s about Teaching Learning to Learn Skills
• In seat behavior
• Time on task
• Being a part of a group
• Following directives
• Communicating
• Manage emotions and self-regulation
![Page 7: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Start with the students’
current skill setand what they are
successful with to create
progress.

Day One. . .
*video of student’s first day of direct instruction played here

But What About When Their Skill Set Is Extremely Low
*video of student doing put in book activity to get use to the literacy center
![Page 12: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Or Their Skills are Unwanted Behaviors
*video of student using knock down skills for a purpose.
![Page 13: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Teaching One on One then Move Skills to Small and Large Group Settings:
![Page 14: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Another Example. . .
(You can view DI binders on my blog.)
![Page 15: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Use special interests to shape and build skills.
“Just Give Him the Whale” by Kluth and Schwarz
![Page 16: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Before the Use of Special Interest
*before video of student throwing materials and being off task
![Page 17: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
After the Use of Special Interest
*after video of student working for special interest item
![Page 18: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Always be thinking about
how to fade special interest
items and move onto the
next level.
![Page 19: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Keep Students’ Attention Spans In Mind-Change It Up Before You Get Unwanted Behavior
Reverse Chaining
*video of student’s experience at Direct Instruction with mail errand at the end
![Page 21: Every Second Counts: Embedding Functional Learning Tasks Thoughout the Day](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081401/55a249e41a28ab8e2b8b478a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Key Points About the Video
• Teaching language with basic language board.
• All done cues
• Functional Mail Run. . .
(You can view more ideas for aided language boards on my blog.)

Other Functional Errands
Getting Mail
Requesting a Pencil
Writing a MessageDelivering Shredding
Getting Library Books
(these functional errands will be on my blog soon)

Why Do Functional Errands Work?
• Just by standing up students get 10% more oxygen to the brain.
• Putting students in organized movement patterns builds confidence and self esteem.
• By doing an errand for someone other than themselves, the students get a feeling of ‘I matter’. . . I contribute to something bigger than myself.

Teach with Purpose!Purpose Creates
Success!

Children Need to Know the Purpose
• Doing a task for task sake is not very purposeful but doing a task to share information or fill a specific need creates purpose.
