Students move to __________________ when they can work independently with little or no supervision.

• A. Independent Practice
• B. Group Work
• C. Guided Practice
• D. Peer Review

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is readiness to work independently. When students can perform the task with little or no supervision, they move into independent practice. This stage follows modeling and guided practice, where the teacher provides feedback and supports learning. Independent practice lets students apply the skill on their own, showing mastery and giving the teacher a chance to assess what they’ve learned.

Group work relies on collaboration, which isn’t independent. Guided practice involves ongoing teacher support, and peer review focuses on giving or receiving feedback from classmates, not solo performance. So independent practice is the fit for when students can work solo with minimal supervision.
