This is part one of the video blog on secondary stations--Content Stations: How to teach with stations. Part two will be Anchor Stations: How to enrich with stations. Stations enable students to do the work while the teacher facilitates. They require a lot of up-front prep, but the classes themselves tend to run smoothly, and student engagement is heightened. Check out this free gallery walk activity for another student-centered classroom activity.
