Choice Boards
Levels PK-12 Content - Any
Choice boards are instructional tools that offer students multiple ways to demonstrate mastery of the standard based on their interests, learning style, and readiness. They provide students with autonomy and agency over their learning while still meeting the learning objectives of the lesson or unit. When designing choice boards, begin with the standards in mind. Think about what the chosen standard(s) require students to know and be able to do. The choice board tasks should align to standards mastery. Providing voice and choice increases engagement, and it's fun!

TIP # 1 Make sure that you aren’t just creating busy work but are truly creating assignment and assessment choices that align to the standards you are teaching. Move from fluff too rigor!
TIP # 2 Provide opportunities for students to reflect on their learning and the choices they made on the choice board. This can help them identify their strengths and areas for improvement, and it can also provide you with valuable feedback on the effectiveness of the choice board as a learning tool.
