Independent Study Behaviors: A Framework for Curriculum Development

Abstract

LD students spend a good deal of their instructional time under the watchful eye of the teacher. Supervision that is too close or constant may retard the student's development of independent study behaviors (ISB's). In this article, Brown discusses characteristics, assessment and curriculum development of ISB's. Since a basic instructional goal for LD students is independence of action, this topic is of particular relevance to the LD Professional.
