I created this resources, to use for whole school independence. I put this sheet together to help students in all classes and all subjects, allowing them to become an independent learner, rather than always asking the teacher for help.
The sheet has a variety of different help techniques and strategies allow students to become an independent learner. The sheet includes questions that students should ask themselves, they need help. Some questions include:
* Have I asked a friend?
* Can I look at a textbook or revision guide?
* Do I have the right equipment?
* Can I use a dictionary?
