DD's Work - Independent, Guided, Supported - definitions?

[KTk9]

My dd often has I, G and sometimes S on her work. I know the relate to the above words, but am not sure what each one entails.

Independent is obviously working on their own, but how much help is given with Supported and what is the difference in this and Guided.

Can any teachers help?

Thanks

Depends on the subject.

If I do a guided writing group, I'll often talk about the ideas and then ask for suggestion sentences. I'll scribe them onto a whiteboard, then ask the children to see if there are any words they could change. I'll underline those words, and then the children will copy the sentence into their books. Often they then go on alone. If not, then we'll do the next sentence.

It ends up with 6 children with roughly similar ideas, but written differently. They correct my missed off punctuation and capitals etc before they copy it.

Supported means they were given a lot of help.

Basically they were unable to do the work the rest of the class were doing without a TA helping them.
