When students are given choices, their engagement and output increase, leading to a sense of ownership in their learning. Join me this week as I interview Kristy from 2 Peas and a Dog about the importance and benefits of student choice.
In this episode, Kristy and I discuss the power of student choice in the classroom and its impact on engagement and learning. We explore how offering choices, such as choice reading or topic selection for essays, leads to increased student motivation and higher completion rates. Kristy highlights the idea of scaffolding assignments by difficulty level on choice boards, allowing all students to participate and succeed at their level and in their style of learning.
Kristy provides practical tips for incorporating choice, including starting small & offering alternative formats for assignments such as how to include choice without needing to create multiple different assignments for every task.
In this episode Kristy shares with us:
- Student choice increases engagement & output, leading to a sense of ownership in learning.
- Giving students choice helps students feel like they have some say in what takes place in the classroom
- Not every assignment needs to include multiple assignment options
- Choice allows for differentiation by offering tasks of varying difficulty levels to meet students' individual needs.
