Narrator: Learning to follow multiple step directions

3
00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:13.279
is a very important life skill.

4
00:00:13.346 --> 00:00:16.850
By learning this skill early on, children are more likely

5
00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:19.886
to thrive in a variety
of different settings,

6
00:00:19.953 --> 00:00:23.990

Bethann Fain: You will be
re-telling the story,

8
00:00:25.959 --> 00:00:28.661
like we just did together.

9
00:00:28.728 --> 00:00:32.399
You will have
your pictures to cut,

10
00:00:32.465 --> 00:00:37.637
then you will glue them on
your paper to re-tell the story.

11
00:00:37.704 --> 00:00:40.507
We practice all the time,
all day long.

12
00:00:40.573 --> 00:00:42.175
There are different things
that they have to do

13
00:00:42.242 --> 00:00:44.043
to follow multiple steps.

14
00:00:44.110 --> 00:00:46.413
In centers, they know
when I ring my wind chimes

15
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.115
that that means they need
to clean up quickly,

16
00:00:49.182 --> 00:00:52.018
stand quietly, make sure
their chair's pushed in,

17
00:00:52.085 --> 00:00:53.953
and have their eyes on me,
so they are ready

18
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:55.321
for the next center.

Jodi Plaisted: First, I want you
to clean up your math tub.

20
00:01:00.360 --> 00:01:03.463
Look at me,
I'm not finished.

21
00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:07.867
Second, I want one person
from your math tub

22
00:01:07.934 --> 00:01:10.470
to take it back to the shelf.

23
00:01:10.537 --> 00:01:13.239
Third, I want you to come
and sit on the carpet,

24
00:01:13.306 --> 00:01:15.975
criss-cross, applesauce.

25
00:01:16.042 --> 00:01:19.012
When students are not able
to follow those important

26
00:01:19.078 --> 00:01:23.249
three-step directions, we see
noise levels getting louder,

27
00:01:23.316 --> 00:01:25.919
we see students
start misbehaving,

28
00:01:25.985 --> 00:01:29.055
and it is very difficult
for any student to learn

29
00:01:29.122 --> 00:01:31.324
in that type of environment.
