Structured Teaching & Work Systems Course

Build Predictable Systems That Increase Student Independence

Create learning environments that promote independence, predictability, and success for all students. This self-paced course guides educators through research-based structured teaching practices that can be applied across universal instruction, Tier 2, Tier 3, and specialized support settings. Participants will explore how predictable routines, visual supports, clearly defined expectations, and structured work systems can reduce reliance on adult prompting while supporting executive functioning, regulation, and student autonomy across a variety of learning environments.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Explain how structured teaching supports neurodiverse learners and promotes independence.
• Design predictable routines and structured environments using schedules, task lists, visual supports, and clear expectations.
• Implement structured work systems that increase student autonomy across learning environments.
• Use fidelity tools to reflect on implementation and identify opportunities for improvement.

Target Audience: 

All educators who support student behavior, skill development, and classroom success.
