The Power of Playlists for Self-Directed Learning (Jolt-054)


Description
As teachers, we work hard to meet the individual needs of students in our bustling classrooms. In the whirlwind of our busy school days, we look for ways to optimize our time with students and empower them to take charge of their learning.

Playlists can help. A playlist gives students a sense of autonomy over their pace or pathway of learning. Playlists free up the teacher to work with students individually or in small groups. Learn about the power of playlists for self-directed learning and design a playlist you can use with your students!

➤ Includes a free, downloadable resource guide with documents you can copy and customize.
