A student-engaged framework to enhance learning

Dive into a student-engaged framework structured around four learning stations: (1) the minilesson station, (2) the independent work station, (3) the collaboration station, and (4) the digital content station. Using direct and specialized instruction, interactive activities, and digital learning tools, these four stations aim to personalize learning and help elementary students develop skills such as accountability, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.

  • Understand the student-engaged framework and its four learning stations, with example scenarios, visuals, and additional resources for each
  • Reflect on their current practices and how they can implement the student-engaged framework in their classroom
  • Personalize learning through direct and specialized instruction
