Principle 4: ACTIVE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Active Participation
Rationale: When a teacher plans a gallery walk, students have the opportunity to see the work of their peers and showcase what they have accomplished. In chat stations, students can examine a piece of content or short video and discuss with peers.
Description: Stations or posters are set up around the classroom, on the walls or on tables. Small groups of students travel from station to station together, performing some kind of task or responding to a prompt, either of which will result in a conversation. In chat stations, students are prompted with a discussion question and sentence starter to engage in a conversation.
