As a high school teacher, I have been motivated by the use of the word "choice" in the work of Dennis Yuzenas. Look at his middle school class at Middle School of the Arts, recorded in 2009 and 2011. You can find his video by searching "youtube dennis yuzenas 9 minutes"...
Matt Blazek, a teacher in Palm Beach County, developed a list of projects (again, to communicate the choices to his students). You can download a sample from his book at www.TinyURL.com/BlazekProjects and see his video at TinyURL.com/MattBlazek.
This blog, ASchoolofChoices.blogspot.com, is an occasional record of how a team of teachers uses procedures to elicit positive
behaviors in teenagers. You can see more at our blog
projectsandProcedures.blogspot.com
You can see a list of procedures and posters that were used in August 2015 to introduce a school to new procedures that resulted in students adopting to an environment of choices.
You can contact the team through Steve McCera

"We ask students to make choices and they often feel overwhelmed. They haven't been given choices in more than 8 years of school and they don't trust adults." -- Dennis Littky (this is a paraphrase of the quote from the NPR interview. I'll look up the exact transcript)
