Lots of great ideas. Explained well with examples.
Kathleen – SANDUSKY CITY (verified owner) –
Good ideas, but they require time to create these choice options. As an English teacher, there is not much time in 40 per day to complete, parent calls, lesson plans, grading, bathroom break, etc. I have always said that we should use a professional development day to do these activities and we have yet to get one of these days. We are always expected to create curriculum on our own time.
