I agree that stations should have an "assess it" station.

# data[].attributes.body
Stations may minimize disciplinary issues, but will not totally eliminate them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that given the right tools, stations can be engaging.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations are a good way to review material and check for understanding

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations should be self-running, students should know exactly what is expected, materials should be readily available.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations provide a form of differentiation with instruction. (movement/hands on activities)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations are good, but expectation need to be established and having extensions or a tsk once completed is crucial to keeping the class on task.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that stations decrease the chances of disciplinary problems.

I disagree with how easy she makes sound, especially when you have 7th and 8th grade curriculum that you are teaching to students at a Pre-K to 2nd grade ability level, some of whom are also non-verbal.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations provide different learning styles, so its a great way to differentiate

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that stations should take 2-3 days. It depends on the group of students and the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm Indifferent with letting stations last for that amount of time. I think stations could be great if they are short and sweet.
Also, stations are not "easy" to set up. Once you have an idea on what stations could be, you're using an entire day prepping for them, especially with so many things going on  in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations can be used to analyze primary documents, then use critical thinking skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that station provide an opportunity for students to be engaged, creating a more student centered classroom. As well, it helps with them with critical thinking and group interaction.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations are a great way to review material for a Unit Test.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations increase students critical thinking. By chunking the information it allows the student to fully process the information as well as collaborate with others to gain an idea of the intended learning outcome. Stations allow for students to take ownership of what they learned.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that planning is very important before doing stations. Materials should be ready and students should understand what they are doing. In my classroom, I have them practice rotating with their groups the day before.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with how easy the author makes it sound. That is why I was inspired to take this training: the planning and implementation process

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations are a great way to differentiate for the different learning styles in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations can keep students engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that stations leave little room for disciplinary problems, especially if a particular station is not designed for a student's particular style of learning. Students who are not actively engaged with the tasks are likely to become  off task or a distraction to others.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with if you're going to do stations regularly, there has to be set expectations and routines that are practiced every time you do them. If you don't set those routines on what to do, you could do stations all year long but they're going to be very mixed results with behavior and retained information

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that stations have fewer discipline issues because when some students need continuous redirecting no matter what. I think it is important to give roles to the students, practice the stations a lot before they are used for graded materials.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with there are fewer discipline issues. I think there are more when your attention is split, but just requires better classroom management.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations are a great way to differentiate your classroom because it gives you the opportunity to meet with students who need a reteach or allows you to extend the learning for creative thinkers or high achievers.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with 2-3 day long stations, because I feel students need at least 5 days to work through the content.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with 2-3 day long stations, because I feel students need at least 5 days to work through the content.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that most stations require minimal materials to set up because it takes time to print, prep, and in some cases BUY the materials needed; not including the time it takes to replace damaged or missing items.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that setting clear standards and expectations will help students develop autonomy and stations will run more smoothly. I think stations keep students engaged and actively learning course contact through activities in lieu of worksheets.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that students who finish the station task early should have another task to do in order to prevent distractions to themselves and others.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree that stations are easy to set up. In my experience, stations for any subject take quite a bit of time to create, set up and execute. At least the first few times.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with the statement that stations are "easy, yet effective". Initially, stations are not easy to set up. There is often a lot of time involved to determine what to put in a station and time involved typing, copying, cutting, sorting into baggies. It is time well spent, because the materials can be used over and over throughout your years of teaching. Just be prepared initially to put some time into preperation.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely teach students expectations of working in stations. I do this the first week of school while we're still in honeymoon mode.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations provide a great way to review important concepts that we have covered.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations should last no more than 15 minutes because if it is more than 15 minutes, often students will finish the activity and then cause behavior issues. Make sure that the time allotted is not too much for the activity given.

# data[].attributes.body
While I do feel that there might be less discipline issues when students are actively and authentically engaged...it's not necessarily a "fix all" for behavior in the classroom.

I also wonder about prep time for all these stations?

# data[].attributes.body
My stations usually take a week to complete due to my students needing extra help.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations need to incorporate multiple intelligences to reach multiple learners. That will help with authentic engagement.

# data[].attributes.body
Some stations (at least from my experience in math) do need lots of materials. I haven't tried SS stations so it could be different.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the article stating that stations are great for review. 2nd graders often don't remember a lot of concepts by the end of the unit. It would be great to review for the test with stations.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree  Each station should focus on a sub-topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that stations are a great way to review material. Since the students have already been taught the content, they can focus on completing the actual tasks of the station.
