I would love to hear how your teaching is going. Stations are kind of new to me, although I have used them differently (and to less success) in the past. I generally use stations as a way for students to interact with the material after the material has been introduced through more direct instruction. In this case, my students were reviewing different aspects of Islam at each station that I had already taught. They have the routine down now, but it takes a little practice. I usually give a generous amount of time at each station (like 8 minutes) and then ring a bell and they rotate on their own. When I have students with special needs, I might have them all in one table so I can rotate with them. It just depends on the material they are working with. Let’s catch up soon!

Thanks so much for sharing this! Some of my elementary school colleagues have raved about stations, but I have not yet seen this structure used in a middle or high school classroom (until now!). This gives me some ideas of things to try in my next unit. :)

I was so impressed with how well students seemed to understand what was expected at each station. How were these instructions delivered to them? And how did you coordinate the rotation between stations?

Isn’t it amazing how engaged they are? I haven’t had any problems with kids not working hard at stations, and it makes my day much more orderly and not too noisy either. LOVE IT!

Miss you, kiddo. Hope you’re well! Will you be in Philly this summer? I’m taking a quick trip there June 18-20 to see the Twins play the Phillies :)
