Happy (almost) Friday! #changelives #sschoicechat

Q6: All in all, I think the benefits of giving students choices outweighs the negatives. We just need to find the time to make or create resources that we can use. #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

A5: Another thought is finding time to teach the kids how to do the activities. With so much to complete before PSSAs, it can be hard to slow down and teach that. #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

A5: I also worry about the independence piece when doing these projects. You're right that they would require reassurance and practice. #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

One challenge that comes to mind is developing the different choice options and rubrics, as this is not always provided with a curriculum. The nice part, however, is once it's created, you have it forever! #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

A4: I was also thinking about using rubrics. I think those would be beneficial to see where students are strong and where they need extra assistance. #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

A4: One way to check their level of understanding would be to explain their steps verbally or in writing to their teacher, or explain their project and thinking to the class. #sschoicechat

A3: In reading, you could also allow students to create different products to show what they have learned. I also like the idea of creating a computer based project. #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

A3: In math, when we are practicing on a certain page, I will sometimes let students pick a certain number of problems to complete. This allows them to pick problems they are comfortable with, while still showing understanding. #sschoicechat

[Steph Himes @SHimes10]

Q2: I feel that providing choice allows students to be comfortable in showing what they know, as well as working in a capacity that aligns with their learning style. #sschoicechat
