Students reach the middle years with a lot of experience and are ready to "employ the independent 'You do' phase of the gradual release of responsibility (GRR) framework, right from the start," write the authors. The framework (more) begins with focused lessons for inexperienced learners and proceeds through to a final 'independent learning' stage. This article describes one of the author's work using the model in class. While the framework is intended to be flexible ("moving back and forth as needed") it seems to me that we should expect all students to be able to learn independently before they finish secondary education. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
