Synopsis

Think about the best learning experiences you've ever had. Chances are you had a choice in what you were learning, and what you wanted to get out of the experience. Yet, in our schools it is difficult to give students choice when curriculum, standards, and expectations get in the way. This book presents 10 simple ways to transform your classroom into a student-centered experience, through choice, easy ways to differentiate, and a focus on student engagement from the start. Each chapter covers a specific area of teaching and learning with choice: -Choice in what we learn (content) -Choice in how we learn (instruction) -Choice in technology -Choice in purpose -Choice in pace and order -Choice in assessment There are many educational books out there on WHY we should be learning different and teaching different. This books focuses on the HOW. The 10 strategies start with a story, and end with a step-by-step guide on how to implement choice effectively in any classroom.
