Great ideas for differentiation.

I enjoyed this class I have learned so many new ideas about workstations and how to better use models for students learning needs.
Kelly – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
I learned a lot from this course, but feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the information in a one-hour course.
Magdalena – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) –
This is something lower grade already do. I’ve taught Kinder an d1st grade and centers/stations was a must. I took this with me now that I teach 3rd grade math. I goal is to give students more time versus twice a week. I love the idea of them creating centers and explaining the “games” to others. Students learn through the teacher and the teacher learns through the students, but students also learn best from their friends.

I think this is a reminder of activities that we could do to keep all students engaged in learning. By giving them choices they feel like they have more ownership of the grade they receive/
