In my experiences I've learned how different each student learns in the classroom. I like to provide my students with different activities so each student can work individually or within a group. In my student teaching experience, I would constantly use informal assessments throughout the lessons to see where my students were at and how they were thinking. If a large majority of the students were not comprehending the material, I would try teaching it a different way. Since each child learns and processes knowledge differently, I would like to implement choice boards into my classroom. It provides the students with the chance to choose which assignment fits their needs and interests the most. I think if students have choose the assignment that interests them the most they are more likely to be able to remember the information and recall it more easily than using traditional methods.
