    • There are many different ways to set up stations - by activity, by curriculum strand
    • Can be done over a day, several days, or even a week
    • Catlin Tucker - Blended Learning in Action book and Balance with Blended Learning book
    • Station Rotation Model:
      • Teacher-led, small group work, individual practice, online learning, collaborative stations
      • Doesn't need to be physical locations in your room although this can help your students stay on task!
      • Other ideas for stations: makerspace, research, project-based learning, design & create, virtual field trips, role playing &/or performance, feedback
    • Feedback station suggestions:
      • Peer review, teacher led, self assessment
      • Provide sentence starters and/or frameworks to guide peer and self assessment
    • Behind the scenes:
      • Lots of upfront work with a big payoff
      • Consider approaching the topic using different modalities
      • Think about those topics that students often struggle with to target for stations
      • Help students learn the model by starting with low stakes stations (getting to know you activities for example)
      • Consider interactions: teacher-student, student-student, student-content
      • Have clear objectives, tasks, instructions
      • Works well with mastery-based learning
      • Mix up the activities you use
      • Look at UDL framework for inspiration
    • Logistics in the classroom:
      • Limit the number of students per station
      • Use a timer and project it to keep students on task
      • It's ok not to finish all tasks
      • Consider lesson classifications from Modern Classrooms framework
      • Add in a fun station (curriculum-related board games, etc.)
      • Tech vs no-tech - not all stations need tech!
      • If using tech, consider all aspects - headphones, headphone splitters, chromebooks, adapters
    • Expect a learning curve - try, fail, learn!
