Welcome to my third 'Huddle Time' - the purpose of this time is to provide a short video that offers student centered ideas to consider for your classroom.
HUDDLE TIME VIDEOS
Video #1 - Teacher Led Activity
Video #4 - Paper/Pencil Activity
Today's Huddle Time focuses on
- Station Rotations
Station Rotation is an instructional delivery system where students move from one activity to another activity throughout the class period.
In my implementation of the Station Rotation Model, I have students move through three activities:
1. A teacher led activity
2. An online activity
3. A paper/pencil activity
I have attempted four stations in a period but have finally landed on three stations during the period because it allows sufficient time at each station.
In terms of setting up my classroom, I divide the classroom in half so that both sides of the classroom have an online activity and a paper/pencil activity. For the teacher led activity, a group from each side of the classroom comes together to meet with me as we do the activity together. The rationale for this set up is that it allows for better classroom management and my teaching style.
Remember to believe in yourself, believe that you matter, and believe that you can make a difference.
Teaching and still loving it,
