Educator “What-Ifs”: The Feasibility of Choice Making in the Classroom

Abstract

Educators who work with students with emotional and behavioral disorders may seek instructional strategies that are effective yet practical in the classroom. These strategies need a research base to support them and minimal time and/or effort to prepare or implement. One research-based option for educators across a variety of contexts is implementation of choice-making opportunities. This article offers suggestions for educators who may be hesitant to implement choice-making opportunities with students with challenging behaviors in instructional contexts.
