Creating a Choice Board for Your Classroom
What is a Choice Board?
A choice board is a graphic organizer that allows students to choose how they will learn a concept. Usually a choice board is a 9-square grid, with each square containing an activity. Students complete the activities of their choosing, with guidance. Examples: Tic-Tac-Toe, X number of points, free/random choice.
So...why use a Choice Board?
Choice boards engage learners. A choice board can also facilitate differentiated learning opportunities for your students. For ten reasons why to use choice boards in the classroom, check out Miguel Guhlin’s blog. For additional information, Lori Gracey’s blog is a great read.
