Ms. McCurry is a fourth grade teacher at Weller Road Elementary School. She decided to use her bulletin board space to create "Choice Boards". These choices can change over time but they provide a menu of choices for the ways that her students can demonstrate their learning in reading and math. Having these choice boards in her room allow students to have choice for products as a matter of routine. The objectives can change each week and the choices can change on occasion as well, but the choice is an ever present part of how the classroom operates. Sometimes students will suggest other choices that they'd like to have for demonstrating their learning, sometimes Ms. McCurry might introduce a new choice. The takeaway, for me, is that she is embedding choice into structure of her classroom. It's not just an add on for projects, it's part of the every day culture in her classroom.

I love your choice boards and checklists. I was wondering if you have copies of them that I could download. They're so great and I would love to use them in my class. Thank you!
