These little tags are designed as a classroom management strategy to help support students if they become ‘stuck’ on a classroom activity. Each day, 3 students are nominated to be the ASK 3 TEAM, and these tags are designed to be laminated and worn on the end of lanyards to identify them in the classroom. Fantastic for classroom teachers to have in their teaching kit to leave with the names of 3 responsible students if they are going to be absent. A helpful resource and strategy for Relief teachers to have in their resource kits. Look for responsible students and allow them to be your assistant teachers for the day.
