- Choice boards, bingo boards, tic tac toe boards all ramp up choice which is GREAT for these students!
- Everyday, every minute is when this needs to be built in... not just once for the product of learning.
- Stop brainstorming in groups. Honor individual brainstorming.
- Let them gather thoughts and ideas as an individual first, then join as a group to discuss and collaborate. Eliminates personalities dominating the direction a brainstorm session may go in..
- Be careful not to overmodel. Students want to please. If offered too many models, creativity goes out the window. The ripple effect is not what we hope for students.
- Show a model, remove a model, check in w/ a model, remove a model, let student creativity drive the bus.
