Effective Strategies that Support Instruction and the Curriculum Framework
With so many instructional strategies available today, teachers often find it hard to select ones that will have the greatest impact on student learning. Since no single strategy works well for all students, the use of a variety of effective strategies during instruction is critical.
According to research findings by notable educational authors such as Dr. Robert Marzano and Charlotte Danielson, the following instructional strategies offer the highest probability of student success:
- Setting goals and providing feedback
- Activating prior knowledge
- Nonlinguistic representations
- Identifying similarities and differences
- Generating and testing hypotheses
- Summarizing and note-taking
- Cooperative learning
- Comprehension strategies
- Vocabulary
- Writing
- Reinforcing effort and providing recognition
- Homework and practice
- Formative assessment
