Stations

What does it look like?

Why Stations?

Benefits:

Requires very little adjustment to teacher contracts, facility design, or the classroom overall. It’s just a new way for teachers to organize the flow of time within their classrooms.
Allows teachers to work with smaller groups of students. Can help ameliorate the problem of high student- teacher ratios. Some schools have implemented a Station-Rotation model to deal with large class sizes.
Facilitates the use of project-based learning as a station to complement the online-learning station.

Challenges:

Teachers need to learn new skills, such as how to plan the right small groups for face-to-face time in response to the data that the online-learning station is generating.
Classrooms need a robust learning management system to help fit each student to the right online content and to generate actionable reports for teachers.
The online-learning station needs to be easy for students to do on their own with minimal adult intervention.
