Many teachers like to offer students the ability to choose work that interests them, yet moves their learning forward. This can be a challenge to organize, especially when students are learning at various levels.
Here’s an idea developed by a 5th grade teacher in Arizona. She organizes various learning tasks by Appetizers, Main Courses and Desserts. Tasks are color-coded and have various point values. Linked to this are color-coded binders with worksheets and independent assignments. When the teacher conferences with a student, she will guide them to certain colors, based on their progress with learning targets.
How do you organize your options for students?
