In this session, you will learn how one teacher utilizes an 'assignment catalog' or 'assignment menu' to give students full reign over their learning. By splitting the TEKS into discrete assignments that can be divided and conquered among a small, permanent group, students gain a greater degree and sense of agency over their own learning. Choosing one's learning is a much different animal from being assigned learning and this pedagogical technique yields a greater pedagogical ease in the classroom, easing stress on the teacher and allowing students a greater degree of freedom to pursue positive and meaningful learning.
