Students may prefer to express their learning in different ways. What ways do students express their learning in your classes?
Multiple Means of Expression is an approach that allows students to show their learning in various ways. By offering choices in how students communicate what they know and the format for their work, teachers help all learners express their understanding in a way that works best for them.
