What is the difference between a checklist and a choice board in a blended and personalized learning classroom? The difference is simple. A checklist is something that you have to complete. For example, think about when you are packing for a trip. You make a list of all of the items that need to be packed as well as all of the chores that need to be complete before leaving the house. That is a checklist. A choice board are 5C's activities (creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and connectedness) that can be used to showcase understanding of the content. For example, you are on vacation, you generate a list of activities that you would like to do while at the resort. You don't have to complete all of the items on the list but rather you get to pick and choose which ones would work best for you. Below are samples of a checklist and a choice board.

I loved the training that you gave to us (especially that you modeled what you were teaching so we could see where we were trying to get our classes). I also really like the checklists and choice board examples that you gave us! Do you by chance have the goal setting sheet examples anywhere that we could reference?

Hello Peggy, thank you for the kind words. The goal sheets are located on the CyFair link that was posted on the agenda. I will send you the direct link to the site so you can grab a copy of the goal setting forms.

Marcia, I like he real life analogies that you use so that the content makes sense. Great strategy to use with kids as well. Comparing the checklist to a grocery list or a travel list makes so much sense.

This is a very straight-forward explanation of the difference between terms. I appreciate that you include examples for teachers to use and make their own.

I appreciate the definition along with examples. It helped to clarify the difference in student expectations and products.

I agree~! The checklist works so that ALL can do ALL but the choice board allows for more flexibility of choice.

I completely agree. The checklist is very simple and to the point. I feel that this is beneficial to students because it self pace but it keeps them in a task oriented mindset.

Checklists are things students must finish by a certain time frame. Choice boards have multiple activities students can pick from to show mastery of a concept. Could a choice board be incorporated on a checklist? Is one more developmentally appropriate than the other? I would be interested to know how to pick what is best for my students. On a choice board, could you put some mandatory things and students pick the others? How do we ensure students are doing independent, future ready and digital content with a choice board? This post got me thinking a lot about possibilities! I really enjoy it

I love both of these. The choice board will work great when there is a need to differentiate. Also, our school is a Fine and Performing Arts school where the choice board is perfect! Leave a Reply. |
