To back up what I do in the classroom, I would love for you to review the research findings supporting my classroom structure. If I am doing something that doesn't work for your child - let's talk. I learn something every time I talk with a parent that helps me qualify the strategy so that WE can formulate success. Take a look at the findings and synthesis below and let me know what you think.
There is a good link at Lexicon of Learning to help explain any educational terms. |

This dissertation is about learning stations that incorporate language arts and math. Not many middle or high school teachers use learning stations, although it is common in elementary schools.
I use learning stations in my classroom every six weeks. I got this idea from a master teacher ,Diana Murphy, who used it to move TASS scores up without resorting to worksheets and "drill and kill" instruction on the state-mandated test. I witnessed Diana using this in her classroom in 1997 and was so impressed by her success that I have worked to shape this idea to my classroom.
