Description
Differentiation is a vital part of creating lessons that help all students grow, but teachers can get overwhelmed when they think they have to create an individualized lesson plan for each student. Thankfully, there are strategies you can use to differentiate your classroom that require little time and effort. One of them is creating a choice board.
Educator Jen Molitor says that by using a choice board to offer your students a variety of exercises and activities to complete, you are helping differentiate your lessons in a way that benefits each student.
After completing this one-hour course, you’ll be able to:
- Identify key components in the design and creation of a purposeful choice board
- Determine the purpose of your choice board
- Design and create a choice board that you can start using in your classroom today
