Goal 11 of the 30 Goals Challenge is about giving the students choice.
Our classroom is in the format of a learning center! Students choose where to sit, whether to work on grammar, reading or the vocabulary project. Dates of tests are negotiated together and much more!
A book recommendation here: Jonathan C Erwin’s “The Classroom of Choice, giving students what they need and getting what you want”.
I would love to have a peak inside your classroom!
When is your next holiday? Come and visit!
Meanwhile, I’ll post some pics soon!
This sounds amazing can I ask when you say “Students choose…whether to work on grammar, reading or the vocabulary project, ” are they choices that they make as individuals and carry out as individuals? Or do they make a democratic choice as a class and then that is what you do all together?
Thanks sounds really interesting 🙂
Oh, everything is individual. Sometimes it is a bit chaotic but they are at a miliion different levels!
