Ask Questions > Liberating Structures for Instruction

Hi,
I am a high school social studies teacher, and I was wondering if there are particular liberating structures that work well for instructions. Most of the structures are aimed at helping participants solve a problem; however, what about a liberating structure for obtaining information. For instance, I use 1-2-4-whole group for questioning, and also w^3 for when students look at sources, determine why the sources are important, and how to organize the information.

Are there particular LS for instruction tools, and if so, which? Also, any examples of its usage? Thanks.

There are many LS users innovating in the classroom. The Education tab under topics features a few these folks. More articles are in progress.

In the meantime... all the LS are useful for working in a group to sift, sort, and integrate learning materials students experience independently. Many can serve as methods for both development and evaluating progress.

If you email me directly, I will connect you to other classroom innovators keith@liberatingstructures.com
