Daily tasks are helpful in the classroom because they give students a sense of responsibility with tasks that can differ from day to day. It empowers students by holding them responsible for a given task, assigned by the teacher, which can range from passing out papers to taking attendance.<\/p>\n
This tool is used every day and can vary from switching tasks each day or keeping them the same over the period of a week. The purpose of daily tasks is to include the students in the classroom by assigning each a \u201ctask\u201d or jobs to do for the day. The teacher should create a list of tasks for the classroom at the beginning of the year and then give each student a task to do on a daily basis. Along with this, the teacher should also introduce this system in a way that students will understand what it consists of, then ensure students are doing their tasks until he\/she can see that they get the hang of it to do themselves. The tasks assigned should not include ones that will interfere with\/disrupt lessons rather those that will benefit the classroom environment. Daily tasks are a good way of incorporating students into the classroom by working together alongside other students to ensure that each task is completely. The teacher can also create a task chart which displays each task and indicates to the students who has was task for the given day.<\/p>\n

The daily tasks tool falls under the Preventative phase. This tool would be within this phase because it is a way for students to build a sense of responsibility within the classroom setting as well as holding fellow students accountable for their assigned tasks. Along with this, it is a good way to show students what should be done in a given day along with giving them the opportunity to complete these tasks. The theory that this tool falls under would be student-directed and the collaborative theory. In this case, the teacher is the one who creates and assigns the tasks that will be given to students, along with keeping up with students for the first couple weeks to make sure the understand what needs to be done. On the other hand, the students are the ones who are actually responsible for completing these daily tasks. This is a collaborative tool in which students and teachers work together to ensure that all of the daily tasks are complete at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
