Personalized Learning Strategy:
Provide Choice Boards
NOTE: This strategy is part of the self-paced Customize the Learning Experience Course
Choice boards can take a variety of forms but they are essentially a list of options of learning activities for learners to select from. They can provide choices in what, how, with whom, where or when students learn. Many of them include “must dos” and “may do” options so learners are clear on expectations but also have room for personalization and learning based on interest.
