Meg Wallace on 16 Oct 14There's a lot to be said about student choice. One of the things we're pushing at RLC this year is 'choose your own path' and giving students more choice in when/how they demonstrate learning.

I would structure every test or formal activity like the IB exams do – a five-minute reading period in which students can ask all their questions but no one can write until the reading period is finished. This is a simple solution I probably should have tried years ago that would head off a lot (thought, admittedly, not all) of the frustration I felt with constant, repetitive questions.
