October's Focus: Student ChoiceThis month we wanted to focus on something that was near and dear to our hearts, and that is providing more choice in the classroom. This could be choice in how student's were delivered content, type of homework assigned, choice in seating, or assessment. We wanted to provide our teachers with a variety of choice as well, and model how it can be handled in a classroom. The teachers were provided with a choice board. They were then given 45 minutes to self-pace through 3 of the 9 choices on their board. Most of our work as presenters was done prior to the meeting. We set up each station, explained to the teachers why we felt student choice was important, and then allowed them time to explore. As always, we did wrap up with time for the teachers to create some lesson plan ideas and share out those ideas before leaving. You will find the short presentation that we used attached below. There are also screenshots of our OneNote pages that are used to create the stations and then saved for those who participate later on.
