What Works: Student learns best when rules are explicitly stated and classroom procedures (e.g., regarding homework, class requirements, etc.) are in writing. He benefits from classes that are structured, organized, and follow a predictable way of doing things, including an established routine for class lessons and assignments. It helps to provide a syllabus of the order of topics to be covered, the type of projects that will be required and when they are due, and when tests and quizzes will be given. It also helps when changes in routine (e.g., changes in groups) are announced a few days in advance.
