This is a fantastic article with so many actionable examples for the classroom. Flipping the classroom also works great with our ELL students who are able to take their time a little more and research in their own language to come to class with some content knowledge. It reduces cognitive overload during class time. I love your little pot of choice idea, definitely going to use that. Thank you
You are so right, Gemma. Promoting oracy and giving intentional time for exploration and collaboration really will be key for ELL students too. I am so glad you like the pots of choice! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I loved reading this, Laura. I completely agree that allowing children to take ownership of their learning leads to far greater engagement and purpose, and creates a delicious buzz in the classroom!

Little adjustments can make all the difference.
Thanks Holly! Nothing beats that buzz does it? Palpable learning in action :)
