During my last semester teaching at UCF, I'd give my students a set of assignments and ask them to choose 3, which were each due at different times. They had all of the assignment details in the syllabus, so they could choose an assignment in their interest area rather than something I thought they should learn. Plus, eager students could knock out the work in advance or do it early as it fit into their overall schedules. This made the due date simply a "do it by" a certain time, rather than "do it for". Hopefully this gave them more autonomy, I can't say for sure.

Thank you for these posts ... I just discovered them! I resonate so deeply with your vision for education! I have taught college mathematics for 20+ years and I'm just going upstream now because I feel a call to help re-envision education for our children. I've been teaching high school math for 1 1/2 years now. I would love to teach at Galileo ....... and I am hoping my son can go to Galileo, however, he is #37 on the waitlist. We're crossing our fingers! Thank you so much for your posts, your vision, and your tireless efforts to transform education! xo
