One of the articles I read was addressing different "obstacles" teachers sometimes face to doing stations in class. One of the "obstacles" was the number of stations needed for a large class in order to keep group sizes small. The article suggested using mirrored stations in order to do this; having two identical stations on opposite sides of the room so that if you had 10 kids at the same rotation, they're in 2 groups of 5 instead.

It's important to build trust and respect in order for students to feel safe and comfortable to learn/share in an online environment.

Teach them that struggle is a good thing. When they work to solve problems in groups, they learn more than passively listening from a teacher.

With an emphasis on technology-based lessons, students can feel isolated. We need to be careful about making sure that we are allowing opportunities for students to connect with each other and the teacher in order to give students a better learning environment. These connections motivate students to do better and try harder.

This is tricky, right? How do we balance empowering students to make choices for themselves while also aligning our classes with empirically demonstrated best practices?

Giving students choice will help with motivation as well. Choices can start small (binary choices, choice board, selecting order, etc.)

I really thought the idea for doing the mini-lesson on Monday and then the other 4 days of the week were stations and students could spend longer times per station was a good idea, especially if incorporating any sort of hands-on learning.

Organization of choice boards provides teachers with opportunities to develop learning experiences that are meaningful and relevant to students, which can increase the value students place on a task

Teachers must provide good structure to the class (whether that's in stations, choice for in-class activities, etc.) in order for students to be able to make good choices for themselves and their learning.

Give students opportunities to step up and be the expert (whether it be in small groups or in front of the whole class). This shows them that you trust them. When you make a mistake, don't sweat about it! In fact, you should point out the mistakes that you make to show kids that it's okay to make mistakes and we actually grow from them. Model a growth mindset when you are confronted with challenging information.

Metacognition is key for effective autonomy in learning. But people are not born with metacognition. It too is a skill that can and should be taught. Once that skill is obtained, students can focus and diagnose personal motivation for themselves.

Students have a disconnect between actual performance and their perception of their performance.

Students perform much better when they have a personal relationship with the teacher. Students that strictly used online resources performed worse than students who had a face-to-face teacher teaching the unit along with the online resources.

Students report that they prefer lectures (straight-forward, minimal effort means of ‘learning’) but research shows that they learn better when struggling and working with something in a more hands-on manner. Students want what they perceive as easy instead of what helps them learn best.

When creating playlists, make sure that you are EXPLICIT with the path you expect them to take, what you expect them to do, what is turned in / not turned in, whether they are independent or collaborating, etc. You should be able to get across this information in a clear and concise manner.

When students are provided with opportunities to express their voice and choice, it reinforces their epistemic agency and active role in their learning process

We can model how students can set goals, manage their time, self-assess, and more. Students need to see us teacher model those behaviors and have real conversations about how to
do so.
