@LeoneClark Students have the opportunity to work together in which they have flexible use of the classroom space, which clearly defined directions to follow.
I also sometimes give them the chance to choose their partners in specific activities.

@LeoneClark A5-
Pt 1- Choice, and voice give students the ability to take over their learning opportunities and expand their thinking as they reach for what is meaningful and interesting to them.
Pt 2- Doing research on something of their interest

@LeoneClark A4- My passion for knowing about my students and how to help them learn and be successful is what interests me. Growing professionally and finding new ways to engage and educate. #Q4PLCTalk

@LeoneClark A1- I would definitely encourage teachers to move from "sage on the stage" to "guide on the side" and apply the "mentor in the middle" approach when they want students to own their learning. I know sometimes it's hard to give up that kind of control.
