Rotating Learning Stations with Hybrid Learning

In this Edutopia article, New Jersey ELA supervisor Kara Douma offers tips for synchronous teaching. Douma suggests setting up four stations, with students rotating among them about every 15 minutes, with a one-minute get-up-and-stretch break between each one: 1) A teacher-led station – 2) A collaborative station – in-person, in virtual groups or a combination, 3) An online station with a web-based learning platform on which students practice skills and get immediate feedback 4) An offline, no-tech station for independent practice – work with books, notebooks, graphic organizers, and manipulatives, journaling and keeping track of their work at all the stations. “How to Make Station Rotation Work During Hybrid Learning” by Kara Douma in Edutopia, September 29, 2020
