This Edutopia article presents simple ideas for formative assessments in which students communicate their level of comfort with content. I particularly like the square/triangle/circle task and other exit slip ideas.

Thanks Lynne. This is a great visual tool to use to remind myself to consciously flip the classroom and lessons to a more student-centred approach. I love the concept - Learner choice and voice .

Giving students the power to choose how they learn and how they express what they have learnt is a great way of keeping students engaged. This teaching method can facilitate the 4 C’s of student learning (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity). When I reflect on my own positive experiences as a school student, I think of the projects, classes and assignments where I had the freedom and responsibility for my own learning. Loved this article.

Classrooms are no longer the place for merely 'chalk and talk'. Education in the 21st Century is now a collaborative journey between student and educator, where learner choice and voice is integral to the process.
If students feel like a passive bystander in their education, they will act accordingly. Yet, if their individuality is taken into consideration, and they are included in the education process, they are more likely to take charge of their learning and actively participate.

As humans, we need some power and we need some freedom. Battles and boredom are often a result of students not feeling that they have power and freedom.

Differentiate with Learning Menus Using Google Docs! I love learning menus, and it is one of my favorite ways to incorporate choice and differentiate learning. What are Learning Menus? Learning menus or choice boards are a form of differentiated learning that give students a menu or choice of learning activities.

The lack of autonomy in schools today is saddening. The standardization of our assessments has led to a narrowing of our curriculum and instruction. This is happening in schools where even the leaders are giving permission to teachers to explore their passions and to innovate in their instructional approaches. This is why we are seeing so many initiatives…

Why not let students choose what works best for them – student voice. To me, letting students choose what tools they use and how they organize shows a strength based approach to student learning. What benefit is there in forcing students to function in a way that may not be self directed and self optimized?

Does this really still happen? Do teachers/Academics stop students learning and exploring in the class?

When teachers began asking for time to differentiate instruction by working with students in small groups, Humboldt Elementary found the time for them.
