Classroom Integration Guide

What This Guide Covers

Centers & rotations • Small‑group instruction • Independent work • Intervention blocks • Behavior support • Transitions • Real‑life classroom scenarios

Using Zapz in Centers & Rotations

Zapz activities fit naturally into centers because they are structured, predictable, and easy for students to follow independently. You can assign different steps to different groups based on readiness and energy.

• Assign one Learning Path step per rotation
• Use Skill Paths for targeted intervention groups
• Let advanced students move ahead independently
• Use Life Skills or creativity tasks for students needing emotional regulation

Using Zapz in Small‑Group Instruction

Small groups are ideal for Zapz because you can tailor the step, pace, and support to each group’s needs. This is where differentiation becomes simple and visible.

• Choose a Learning Path step that matches the group’s level
• Model the first part, then let students try the rest
• Use the same step for multiple groups with different scaffolds
• Track progress quickly using the path’s built‑in sequence

Using Zapz for Independent Work

Zapz is designed for independent learning because each step is clear, manageable, and predictable. Students always know what to do next, which reduces confusion and off‑task behavior.

• Assign one step for early finishers
• Use Zapz as a quiet‑time or reset activity
• Let students choose between two Learning Paths
• Use independent steps during teacher‑led small groups

Using Zapz in Intervention Blocks

Intervention time is where Zapz shines. Skill Paths give you targeted, step‑by‑step support for students who need extra practice or foundational skills.

• Use Reading or Math Skill Paths for targeted groups
• Assign Life Skills for students needing emotional or behavioral support
• Track progress easily using the built‑in sequence
• Use Zapz as a bridge between pull‑out and classroom learning

Using Zapz for Transitions & Regulation

Transitions are often the hardest part of the day. Zapz provides short, calming, or energizing steps that help students shift between activities with more ease.

• Use Life Skills steps as transition warm‑ups
• Assign short creativity tasks during high‑energy moments
• Use calming steps after recess or lunch
• Let students choose a regulation activity before returning to academics
