In this episode, we talk about choice boards. Choice boards are a great option for those in a hybrid or remote learning/teaching environment. Differentiation is built right into this format, which give students more options, and allowing them to demonstrate their learning in way in which they feel the most comfortable and can show their strengths.We recognize that we are all starting the school year differently – face to face, remote, or even a hybrid model that involves both!
