Classroom Examples
Elementary
-
In a first-grade classroom, each learner is asked to
rotate his/her name on the job chart upon the completion of a classroom
responsibility. Everyone gets the opportunity to participate in each job.
-
In a second-grade classroom, each time learners are
divided into groups, learners select a new card that defines their roles in
the group. The learners are given opportunities to select a different role
for each new assignment.
Secondary
In an eighth-grade American History class, as learners
are engaged in preparing presentations about a historical figure of their
own selection, the teacher ensures that each learner’s understanding or
need for assistance will be checked. Throughout the preparation time, all
learners have access to the same resources, and are given the same amount of
time. At presentation time, the order of presentation is determined by
learners pulling numbers from a bowl. Each learner is given the same amount
of time to present. |
