I haven't formally announced the change from one phase to the next, but it wouldn't bother me to do so. I find the more I teach, the more explicit I am. And not all of my lessons have all phases. When introducing a strategy, it's mostly me modeling, with a tiny bit of them practicing either with me whole group, or with their table group, or a turn and talk partner. Sometimes the individual practice doesn't come until they've had a couple of days of guided support. Experience has taught me that pushing them to fly too soon just means I have to go back and repair things. What's that number I heard recently? It takes 20 times practicing something to "learn" it. It takes 200 times doing something correctly to "unlearn" it when you've got it wrong. I see the gradual release model as that...gradual! Maura
