Using Learning Centers in High School

Learning Centers/Learning Stations is a popular strategy in elementary schools, but not as popular in high schools. However, from my experience, high school students enjoy Learning Centers and it helps teachers manage the classroom better than whole-class instruction does. Here are a few resources to help you start or enhance your practice of Learning Centers.
