Description: Providing options for how students reach a given learning objective “can develop self-determination, pride in accomplishment, and increase the degree to which they feel connected to their learning” (CAST’s UDL Guidelines, Checkpoint 7.1, “Optimize individual choice and autonomy”). In this session, we explore choice boards as one tool for allowing students choice and autonomy in assessment while, at the same time, ensuring that the rigor of the course content and instruction are not compromised.
