All of the Secondary student teachers met today in the student center to attend different workshops about beginning teacher topics. I didn't know whether it would be boring or not, but it ended up being very inspiring.
The third session I went to was called "Leveled Instruction," and it was an introduction to a unit design that involved student choice, where students earned "points" towards a number goal, and all of the activities that they can do are presented in a "menu". The students are held accountable for their own work, and their own learning. The classroom becomes a workspace instead of a lecture hall, and there are 3-5 workstations or groups in action at a time. It sounds so interesting! I really want to learn more about it.
