Choice Boards

Choice Boards are graphic organizers that display several different squares. The individual squares have different activities on them. All the activities are created to achieve the same learning goal. However, the students have a choice. They can decide which activity or activities they want to complete. The teacher must first identify the students' interests, preferences, and even levels of readiness. From there, the teacher will design the board to cater to visual, auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic learners. The students can decide how they want to learn based off their individual interests and learning styles. 

Different Types of Choice Boards

·       Standards-align boards

·       Strategy-Specific boards

·       Thematic boards

·      Review boards

·      Practice boards

Choice Boards use interesting as well as challenging activities to accomplish a learning goal. Choice Boards stimulate learning by catering to the students' various learning styles. The students are more likely to engage in the activities if they find them to be interesting. Choice Boards are a great differentiated instructions strategy because it provides the student autonomy for how they want to learn.
