  • Use a timer to keep students on track. 
  • Think about what deliverables or check-ins students will have at each station to hold them accountable. 
  • During transitions, check in on student progress both in-person and online.
  • Have "may-do" enrichment activities ready for those students who finish stations early.

  • Divide time equitably between remote and in-person students
  • Use the opportunity to mix students from different modalities to work together
  • Leverage a teacher-led station to assist students in small groups or to conference with students 1:1
  • Create an offline station for students to engage in (think scavenger hunt, practice problems, independent reading)
  • Provide opportunity for student choice where possible (work independently or in breakout room, mode of learning etc.)
