Ask Catlin is back! In response to the thoughtful questions I've been getting through my website and on social media, I'm bringing back this monthly Q&A series to tackle real classroom challenges with practical strategies you can use right away.

In this episode, I answer three of the most common questions I get about the Station Rotation Model:

How do you give directions without spending valuable class time explaining every station?

What should students actually be doing at the online and offline stations?

How do you manage classroom behavior and keep students engaged while you're working with a small group?

Whether you're just getting started with station rotation or looking to refine your approach, you'll walk away with strategies for building student independence, designing meaningful learning experiences at every station, and creating classroom routines that set students up for success.

Have a question you'd like me to answer in a future Ask Catlin episode? Submit it through my website or connect with me on social media. If you're wondering about it, chances are other educators are too!
