@edutopia I have noticed in the older grades guided choice and opportunities for independent practice! Whether it be opened ended or set questions in Mathematics or their own choice out of options (retelling, link the moral to their practices) on how they respond the scriptures in Religion
I have come to realise that kids thrive in consistent environments that cater to their personal and learning needs. The balance is crucial in promoting successful learning and teaching.
