Showcasing authentic activities and classrooms, this book is full of diverse instructional experiences that will motivate your students to take an agile, adaptable role in their own learning. This wealth of pedagogical ideas - from specific to open-ended, low-tech to digital, self-expressive to collaborative, creative to critical - will help you discover the transformative effects of providing students with ownership, agency, and choice in their learning journeys.
