Students are more excited to learn when they have a voice in what they learn and a choice in how they learn. Teachers have a role in providing learning scaffolding to ensure that lessons and projects are developmentally fitting and appropriate.

Students' voice and choice can contribute to a project at any point, from the "what?" of a project to the "how?" or even "why?" It can help differentiate projects for different learners in the room, and it can inspire engagement and ownership of the learning.
