  3. Purpose of Workstations • The main purpose for using workstations in the classroom is to foster independence. • Students need to learn how to work independently so that the teacher can focus on meeting student needs through small group instruction. • Students should be working on activities that address the appropriate grade level TEKS.

  4. Planning boards • Planning Boards are the framework for how your workstations function. • They are the management tools that visually depict how your workstations are run. • They should be student-friendly so that the students work effectively.

  5. Setting Expectations • Always set your students up for success by ensuring that you are modeling the appropriate expectations. • These can be as minute as locating which workstation to work in, what to do, cleaning up, and what to do if they need help. • 10 Steps • Be sure to model, model, model until they are independent.

  6. Literacy workstations • Daily 5 – Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing, Word Work • Classroom Library • Writing • Poetry • Reader Response Journals • Computers/Ipads • Task Cards

  7. Math workstations • Problem Solving • Number of the Day • Facts Practice • Math Warm-Up/Today’s Challenge/Model Drawing Practice • Calendar • Computer • Daily 5 Math

  8. Writing componentand student accountability • While in workstations, students must be writing. This can be a response to what they are reading; a reflection of what they did during workstations, including how they did and what they can improve on; journals, etc. • The writing component holds them accountable for completing their assigned tasks during workstations. • Rubrics can also be used for student accountability.

  9. Departmentalized classrooms • Since 3rd-5th is using a Rotation Schedule/Partner Teaching, each classroom should have workstations that reflect their content area. • Take advantage of cross-curricular implementation. • Each classroom teacher should set their expectations beginning the first day. • Teachers should plan together to ensure consistency across the grade level.

  10. Things to remember • Effective literacy centers are organized and managed so that students can work successfully and independently. • Effective literacy centers are both motivating and engaging. • Effective literacy centers have a consistent structure throughout the year. • Effective literacy centers are aligned with curriculum. • Effective literacy centers have a built-in accountability system.
