Ready-to-Go Instructional Strategies That Build Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking



March 2017 | 160 pages | Corwin

Craft a culture of engaging, student-centered learning!

Meaningful instruction in today’s world of information overload is a demanding task, however, effective instructional strategies increase the odds that students are actively learning and getting prepared for the world beyond school.
 
Alisa H. Braddy and Denise White were questioned continuously over their years as professional development specialists about where teachers could find all the valuable tools they had just learned. This book is the answer! In addition to actual scenarios and vignettes, other features include

  • Reflection questions to challenge readers’ thinking and push them into action 
  • A matrix highlighting the benefits of each strategy at-a-glance
  • Step-by-step procedures for implementing strategies
  • Adaptations for various grade levels and subject areas

Intended to satisfy teachers’ cravings to make sense of all the standards, initiatives, and other demands, this essential resource presents teachers, administrators, and instructional coaches with the tools to provide intentional, purposeful instruction.
