Choice is the amount of autonomy students receive to complete a task. Choice opens an opportunity for students to tie existing interests into their learning. The amount of student choice for every learning task falls on a continuum from total student choice to total teacher assignment.
Depending on the learning goal, all places on the continuum can nurture effective learning. Teacher-Structured Student Choice provides a productive balance of assignment and autonomy. You can learn more about the continuum of total teacher assignment to student choice or options through the Well Developed Classroom Blog on Choice and Entry Points.
