Grip-A-Strip Display Rails allow students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose different materials and locations in the classroom that works for them when writing stories or creating inspiring art work. Currently my students are choosing to work with a variety of mediums in our room such as: different paints, markers, crayons, or chalk. Making sure students feel comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice with his/her creations and displays. They almost always make good choices about what they use, the amount of time spent, and effort that goes into creating each individual piece of originality. This allows for more engaged students, and helps to get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of mediums and a variety of locations to "show off" work. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional options to make more effective learning choices. The display rails are adjustable and will allow students to change their own work and update their creations more frequently and independently. The display rail option allows them to get inspiration from others as well. This will be extremely beneficial for some students that are struggling with ideas. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. I have seen how choices can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow into productive citizens.
