Other Strategies

  • Student Engagement Strategies Wiki
    This resource is a collection of engaging strategies that many teachers have used successfully in planning instructional activities that promote deeper reading, comprehension, and critical thinking in all content areas for all learners. They provide opportunities for student collaboration and a focus on effective oral and written communication. These strategies can be used to introduce, review, and/or summarize content and provide teachers with opportunities for frequent formative assessment of students. The strategies are organized into 5 categories: Comprehension, Summarization, Learning & Review, Vocabulary, and Skillful Thinking. - http://sestrategies.wikispaces.com/Home
  • KNWS (K-W-L for Word Problems) (Word Document)
    In this strategy students use a worksheet similar to K-W-L to analyze and plan how to approach solving a word problem. Using the word problem, students answer what facts they KNOW, what information is NOT relevant, WHAT the problem asks them to find, and what STRATEGY they can use to solve the problem.
