One of the management strategies I will use in my classroom this year is timing activities to support student success. I need to realize that attention span of my students is not the same, and make sure that the students with longer attention spans have longer chunks of time during the day to work on their tasks.
Another strategy I will use is having an anchor activity. I like the idea of introducing it to the class by having half work on the activity while the other half engages in a different activity and then flipping the class. I do this when I am introducing my work stations already and this works well.
I also like the "expert of the day" idea to give students another place to go besides me when they are stuck. I think you have to make sure that this is divided evenly, and for different tasks you can have different "experts".
