What are Anchor Charts?
Anchor Charts are instructional tools educators display in the classroom, which students use as a reference. Information displayed on the Anchor Charts provide support for a lesson the teacher, and it can remind students of routines and expectations in the classroom.
Anchor Charts are typically created on chart paper or an interactive white board. They are created by the teacher and students together, during a lesson or class discussion. Both teacher and student are responsible for recording the ideas the class generates.
