Giving Students Choice at Strategic Moments in a Learning Cycle

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by The Modern Classrooms Project. The webinar recording can be accessed here.
Education is often dictated by many outside forces: pacing guides and school board priorities, political decisions, and parental preferences. We know that student voice and choice are essential to supporting motivation, engagement, and academic success, but supporting that choice can sometimes feel daunting. Doing so in a way that is meaningful, sustainable, and positively impacts student learning can feel next to impossible.

In this edWebinar, education leaders Dr. Catlin Tucker and Kareem Farah explored what meaningful, motivational choice in a classroom setting actually looks like and how and when educators can implement opportunities for choice at strategic moments in the student learning cycle.

This recorded edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders.
