Correction Procedures Worksheet

Correction Procedures

As you move a student through the steps of each program, you will want the student to be successful. Therefore, you do not want to have the student learn mistakes during programming. There are three important steps to remember when a student makes a mistake on a program.

The first step is to provide immediate feedback to the student that he/she has made a mistake. The feedback should not be harsh or punishing. You simply state “No, Bob, that is not correct”.

The second step in correcting errors is to have the student back up to the previous step in the program and require him/her to complete the steps correctly.

The third step is to provide the level of assistance necessary to ensure that the student completes the step of the program correctly. Generally, this means going to the next level in the prompting hierarchy. For example, if you have given Bob a direct verbal cue to go to the back of the lunch line and Bob walks to the front of the lunch line, you would stop Bob, make him go back to the hall and walk into the lunchroom again and this time walk to the back of the lunch line yourself and have Bob follow.
