In The Strategic Teacher, you’ll find a repertoire of strategies designed and proven to meet today’s high standards and reach diverse learners. Twenty reliable, flexible strategies (along with dozens of variations) are organized into five groups of instruction:

• Mastery strategies that emphasize the
development of student memory;

• Understanding strategies that expand students’
capacities to reason and explain;

• Self-Expressive strategies that stimulate and
nourish students’ imaginations and creativity;

• Interpersonal strategies that help students
find meaning in the relationships they forge
as partners and team members, united in
the act of learning;

and…

• Four-Style strategies that integrate all four styles.
Starting with the best research-based teaching and
learning strategies, the authors created a tool called
the Strategic Dashboard. Each dashboard provides
information about each teaching strategy in a concise,
visual profile. In addition, for each strategy you’ll find:

• a brief introduction to the strategy;

• an example of a teacher using the strategy
in the classroom;

• the research base supporting the strategy
and how the strategy benefits students;

• a list of clear implementation steps;

• guidance through the planning process; and

• additional tools, strategies, and resources for
adapting and expanding the use of each strategy.
