Shoutout to Heather and Jada for co-facilitating our Rigorous Centers PD! I loved hearing the discussions in the PD, but also seeing how many wheels this PD got turning and the reflection taking place. I'd love to sit with teams to look at stations and best practices that go along with them. We can also discuss creating a community of independent learners...for now, take a look at some of the videos and resources below!
Math:
Check out the video linked below from Debbie Diller on math stations! She has a great series called "Moving into Math Stations" with videos from running stations to storing manipulatives -- definitely worth the time to watch.

Here's a first grade blog sharing how this teacher structures math stations, and how she rotates them -- she even includes a reading station in her rotation for her students to read math stories/books!

Another video of 4th grade students explaining their stations, and then working in them!

My favorite Teaching Channel teacher, Jenna, has amazing videos from her classroom that share how she manages, introduces, and runs her stations! Her tips can help both primary and intermediate classrooms!
