How Far Into the Future Can Our Students See?
Sarah Ward (360 Thinking)
● 2 years old: now
● 3-5 years old: 5-20 minutes
● K-1st grades: Several hours
● 3rd-6th grades: 8-12 hours
● 6th-12th grades: 2-3 days
● 17-23 years old: 2-3 weeks
For some students, the farthest they can see is the next class

● Visually demonstrate the passage of time: “time-sweep”

Get Ready Do Done
Sarah Ward & Kristen Jacobsen; Creators of 360 Thinking
Get Done
When planning, always start with Done: “What will it look like when I am done?”
“What do I do to make it look like that?”
“What will I need to get ready?”
Now it is time to execute forward. “Gather materials to Get Ready.”
Do each step”“Now I am Done but I have to Get Done”
That means everything is put away, packed in bookbag, turned in to class, etc…

● Have students take digital photos of items they need for a variety
of tasks (school, work, sports practices, etc...
● Arrange everything they need for each task/activity in a pile and
take a digital photo
● Take another photo of student dressed for the task/activity with
all required accessories for each activity
● Photos can be organized into albums on student’s devices
● Use of photos will be gradually faded as students become more
proficient using episodic future thinking; fosters independence

If we create organizational
systems for our students, they
will lack ownership of the
product and will miss out on
the valuable lesson of
learning the process.
We must allow students to
set up their own systems to
increase “buy-in” and promote
accountability; providing
support as necessary.

Recommended Materials:
● Sturdy 3-ring binder

Having a planner is not enough!
● Sheet Protectors
● Subject Dividers (I like ones with pockets)
● 2-pocket folders for each class
(with binder holes)
● Notebook paper
● Accessory bag
● Accessories (such as pencils, pens,
colored pencils, scissors, glue sticks,
3-hole punch, highlighters, sticky notes)

4. Move assignment to Get Ready mat & gather materials (self-talk)
5. Open homework folder to page where assignment will be filed

“my child does the homework but fails
to turn it in”

● Many students find it helpful to Use a separate folder exclusively
dedicated to homework; sturdy 2-pocket; one side for “Homework”
and the other for “Turn In”
● When putting homework in the homework folder, put a sticky note
on each completed homework assignment labeled by class & time
● Sort the completed homework assignments into temporal order
and place them in the folder
● Sticky notes increase the spatial-temporal window for when
something is due
● Without the sticky notes, students are less likely to turn in
completed homework & more likely to shove papers where they
don’t belong

What if it’s not working?
Don’t assume it’s the product that is not working. This is a process and there are many areas that can go wrong.
It’s time to reflect on what’s not working:
● Does the plan need adjustments? Does the plan need a complete overhaul?
● Is there lack of buy-in from your child? Is it your system and not your child’s? Mental rigidity?
● Is there a lack of self-regulation?● Is the goal proximal, specific, and appropriately
challenging? Is the goal realistic?● Is there adequate support?● Is there a system of accountability?
![Page 61: managing real-world skills Real-life strategies for · 2018-10-05 · managing real-world skills Maleah Stewart, M.Ed., CCC-SLP North Forsyth Middle School ... with managing oneself](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063006/5fb54dd02e531f72a628584b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Don’t tell kids why it’s not working;
have them reflect & tell you themselves;
this is part of the learning process
● Our ultimate goal is for kids to manage their own learning.
● We want our children to become self-regulated and metacognitive.

“Quit begging
for my nag!”

Our job is not to make our kids
comfortable in the face of challenge.
We want our kids to have grit and
perseverance. We want to teach them
to cope with discomfort.
We are teaching to the future and
hopefully preparing our kids for
independence in the adult world.
“Learning to be comfortable
with discomfort”
Garcia-Winner, M. (2017)

We must teach our children to
plan the work and work the
plan or it’s “game-over” at
high school graduation.
