In this Episode of The Education Table with Katie Novak, we’ll tackle the question, when designing instruction for our learners (our students, our staff, etc.), just how much choice is too much? We’ll cover what happens when we offer too much choice and we’ll take a look at the psychology and research behind the statistics as we outline the ideal number of choices we provide to our learners along with strategies to increase the outcomes of our learners.  This episode is best for those seeking to create flexible, inclusive learning environments while avoiding the pitfalls of choice paralysis. Examples include scenarios involving students that may struggle with visual processing, decoding at grade level, and multilingual learners.  Join the movement. Transform education.
