Choice Boards - When trying to enrich our students, one way to do this is to provide student choice. But how do you guide this choice into the lesson you are teaching? You can provide choice boards which are menus that students can choose various activities from. These choice boards can be subject-specific, they could be grade-level specific, they could be skill specific. Regardless, they need to be designed so that students are able to take their learning to the next level. You can do this by having scaffolding activities on your choice board. This ToddCast talks about 8 various choice boards that can be used with all levels of students. Some are specific to a subject area but most are general enough that you could use it in any classroom.
