Transitioning to a choice based art ed classroom

I am currently trying to prepare for transitioning from a DBAE classroom to choice based.  I am looking for suggestions on making a smooth transition and how to organize and set up my classroom.  I have read 2 books on the matter as well as an ebook (all of which have been very helpful).  But I just need some organizational tips and suggestions on introducing this idea to my students who have been heavily guided in their art making in the past.All ideas welcome.:)See More
