Choice boards allow students to have the autonomy to choose how they will explore or demonstrate understanding of a topic. This can allow them to tap into their strengths and passions as well as demonstrate self-awareness. This freedom of choice and expression also allows for students to exercise honesty and integrity in creating and producing their work.
