Station Rotation For All
Friday August 30, 2024 10:25am - 11:15am CDT
Station rotation is so much more than just setting up stations and having students rotate around the room. Learn how to purposefully group students, how to structure your stations, and how to make a “linear agenda” go horizontal. This blended model requires no flexing at all. You will get to see examples across content areas and hear some tips and tricks from teachers who have tried it out. Be prepared to keep an open mind as to how you could incorporate this strategy into your teaching!
