What is a Choice Board?
A choice board gives students several enrichment assignments to choose from, and they get to decide what they complete.

Benefits of Choice Boards:
Giving students a choice in their learning encourages a feeling of ownership in their learning. I have been using choice boards for years in my classroom, and I honestly find that students are much more willing to complete whatever work your put in front of them if they have a choice about what they will complete!
Easy differentiation! You can give each student their own number of choices to complete based on their levels and abilities.
