Generalize the 3 steps by using the skill in your classes, hallways, community, and any other place that a direction is given. Staff will be teaching the lessons in classes through-out the month of February. Staff will also be handing out Hills Bills to students that are able to meet the expectation of generalizing following directions in classes and at Jefferson. The focus for February is “How to Follow Directions”…Make February Fabulous by Following Directions.
