This session will explore the critical role of prompting and prompt fading in fostering learner independence. We will focus on how to effectively use different types of prompts to support student success while minimizing prompt dependence. Through a step-by-step approach, educators will learn when and how to introduce, vary, and fade prompts to promote skill acquisition and independence in learners of all abilities. This session is ideal for teachers, educational assistants, and administrators seeking to enhance their students' independence and reduce reliance on adult support. Participants will leave with effective strategies to systematically promote autonomy and mastery of skills, ultimately building student confidence and success in the classroom.
