Centers workflow

See how the same Deck changes for the classroom routine.

Station start

Students open a short social skills activities Deck from a class code.

Independent play

Self-checking Tiles keep partners moving without waiting for teacher grading.

Pull group

Use the missed Tile list to pull students who need another pass at turn taking, expected choices, friendship skills, and classroom problem solving.

How this fits

Use LearnTiles to plan social skills activities for independent or partner center rotations. The same Deck moves from class code to student play to a report-backed next step.
