Choice boards increase student ownership and allow students to choose how they demonstrate their understanding of an outcome or series of outcomes. A choice board is a grid that has clear instructions in each box of a task that students can complete. The number of items in the grid varies on whether the choice board is being used in a single lesson or throughout a unit. Teachers can choose whether they want students to choose one assignment from the choice board or use the board as a tic-tac-toe game and students need to complete a row.
Choice boards can be created with student readiness, student interest, or multiple intelligences in mind.
These steps help create an effective choice board.
TIPS
All choices in the choice board should lead to demonstrating an understanding of the outcome.
Creating clear instructions are vital so students can choose.
Creating a variety of challenging activities so that every student can find something they would engage in.
