EDTS 536 - Using Anchor Charts: Teaching Tools to Maximize Instruction and Differentiation (3)

Anchor charts are not new, but their purposes and benefits continue to grow. In the past, teachers bought laminated anchor charts to hang on the walls for students to reference occasionally. But now, you can use them as a teaching tools, allowing your students to create their own anchor charts to help them become more engaged and take ownership over their learning. 

In this course, you will explore best practices for creating anchor charts and their many benefits in academics and classroom management. You’ll review the different types of charts and how you can use them, including how to create charts that are interactive (i.e., that students can fill out and change throughout the year). In addition, you’ll learn how to design charts for a variety of purposes, such as personal goal setting, making abstract concepts more concrete, creating expectations for group behaviors or projects, and much more.

Using the techniques from this course, you’ll be able to work with your students to create personalized, classroom-specific anchor charts to increase their engagement and deepen their learning.
