“DESIGN
--start with a list of tasks that you would try to accomplish during a block period.--turn the list into a horizontal series.--How can you turn each task into a rotation station?--Add/remove stations as needed (based on number of students in class usually).
For your content area:
Things to Consider Before Implementing:
1. Strategic grouping?2. Bulk of planning is up front3. Architecture of room4. Timing/Logistics5. Teacher is NOT the focus6. Material/content cannot be linear7. Requires explicit instruction on how this works
and how students work through stations

Final ThoughtsThese strategies are a great way to
engage all students, make the classroom student-centered, and allow teachers to
step back and encourage students to “own” their knowledge.
