Self-study module with self-check
A set amount of lesson time follows the weekly plan: required and optional tasks that learners work through independently in their own order, with self-checks and clear checkpoints.
How the method works
- 1
Hand out a weekly plan with required and optional tasks, and clarify the time slots.
- 2
Learners plan their sequence and get started independently.
- 3
Self-check using answer sheets or a checking partner; tick off completed tasks.
- 4
The teacher uses the extra time for targeted one-to-one support.
- 5
Checkpoint at the end: compare progress, collect stumbling blocks, and clarify next steps.
Material
- Work plan
- Hint cards
- Self-assessment
You can find free, ready-made worksheets for the work phase in the TeachPie Marketplace , sorted by subject and grade, in three levels.
Common pitfalls in practice
- The process and access to help must be self-explanatory
Variants
- Use a skills grid instead of a task list: learners choose based on their learning progress.
- Team weekly plan: Some tasks are deliberately marked as partner tasks.
