Has offering up choice to students ever been frightening to you? Giving up some control in the classroom can be an intimidating thing for some educators. If you have ever wondered how offering students choice in their own learning can be implemented and how it affects the work completion and engagement of students, this session will be beneficial for you!

I discovered the impact of giving students control of their learning by offering choice boards to be profound. If this interests you and how it may benefit your students' work completion and engagement then join me for this round table discussion.
