Lesson Plan

Visual Schedules Lesson Plan

By the end of the session, participants will understand the role of visual schedules in promoting student engagement and independence, create a customized visual schedule template for Tier 2 small-group supports, and plan concrete implementation steps for their classrooms.

Visual schedules provide clear, consistent cues that reduce student anxiety, boost task completion, and foster independence—especially for students needing Tier 2 interventions. Teachers will gain practical tools to scaffold learning and enhance self-regulation.
