NAME OF THE
STRATEGY

Active Learning

DEFINE
Is a student centered approach in which the
responsibility for learning is placed upon the
student, often working in collaboration with
classmates.

BENEFITS

WHEN TO USE

HOW TO USE

Students are more likely to

access their own prior
knowledge, which is a key to
learning.

In sites when students are

more easy to look for
information.

Teachers are facilitators rather

than one way providers of
information.

Writing Assignments

Writing assessment is useful primarily as a

means of improving teaching and learning. The
primary purpose of any assessment should
govern its design, its implementation, and the
generation and dissemination of its results.

To promote the writing skills

of students.

In every states of the life

school.

The Jigsaw Technique

The jigsaw strategy is used to develop the

skills and expertise needed to participate
effectively in group activities. It focuses on
listening, speaking, co-operation, reflection,
and problem-solving skills.

Each student becomes an

"expert" on one topic by
working with members from
other teams assigned the
corresponding expert topic.

When teacher want to teach.

Concept Sketches

Is a form of illustration used to convey an idea

for use in (but not limited to) films, video
games, animation, or comic books.

Encourages students to be
more aware of the writings.

When students write in their

notebooks.

A teacher's first responsibility is to

provide opportunities for writing
and encouragement for students
who attempt to write. The teacher
does this by carefully monitoring
students' writing to assess
strengths and weaknesses.
Designing an effective jigsaw
requires different, but overlapping,
team assignments and a
meaningful group task, plus
attention both to how students will
prepare effectively for peer
teaching and how the instructor
will evaluate what individual
students have learned.

Look for images, cut and pasted

into the notebook.

Role playing

Refers to the changing of one's behavior to

assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a
social role, or consciously to act out an
adopted role

Acting out a story

Is the conveying of events in words,

and images, often by improvisation or
embellishment. Stories or narratives have been
shared in every culture as a means
of entertainment, education, cultural
preservation, and instilling moral values.

Graphic organizers

A series of visual charts and tools used to

represent and organize a student's knowledge
or ideas. Graphic organizers are often used as
part of the writing process to help students
map out ideas, plots, character details and
settings before beginning to write

Wherein they adopt certain

roles such as doctor and act
out those roles in character.
Sometimes make believe
adopts an oppositional
nature, resulting in games
such as cops and robbers

It is of great help to the shy

child since he is acting
together with the other
children and therefore is not
in evidence himself.

Help a student comprehend

what he has read and make
comparisons to other pieces
of writing.

Can be use in the primary

school.

Role-playing can also be done

online in the form of group story
creation, involving anywhere from
two to several hundred people,
utilizing public forums, private
message boards, mailing lists,
chatrooms, and instantmessaging chat clients

Select the main players in

history to be displayed in the
classroom.

Select a book that you think would

work well. Choose one with
characters that have strong
personalities and clear roles in the
story. You might want to choose a
story or even a nursery rhyme that
the child already knows. Tell the
child youll be acting out the story
or poem. Then read it aloud
together.

Teachers can use graphic

organizers to engage visual
learners and help them
organize their thought.

Used to: sequence events,

analyze cause and effect,
compare and contrast and
develop concepts in detail.

Hands on active
participation

Is one of those workhorse instructional

strategieseasy to use, straightforward,
expected, and often quite successful at
accomplishing a number of learning goals.

Participation adds interest;

its hard to maintain students
focus and attention when all
they hear is the professor
talking.

K-W-L (Know-want to knowlearn)

Is an instructional reading strategy that is used

to guide students.

This method encourage

students to learn by
effectively way to explain.

Mnemonics

Systematic strategies for strengthening longterm retention and retrieval of information are
referred to as mnemonic strategies

A keyword mnemonic is an
aid to help students learn
new vocabulary words.

Paraphrasing

When students are using their own words to

restate the meaning of an existing quote or
piece of text. Paraphrasing is a critical skill to
develop in research and expository writing, or
you risk plagiarizing.

Monitoring progress with

group and individual
achievement awareness

Is a practice that helps teachers use student

performance data to continually evaluate the
effectiveness of their teaching and make more
informed instructional decisions.

the student learns to respond

content but in their own
words

Accelerated learning
because students are
receiving more appropriate
instruction and More efficient
communication with families.

Especially use when on those

days when getting students to
participate feels like pulling
hens teeth.

When teaches are explaining

something interesting to students,
teacher ask and the students
responds.

With this method the student

learns only what is necessary

Students look information that

they want to know.

This method provides clearly

aids to learn.
Passages that present
important points, explanations,
or arguments but that don't
contain memorable or
straightforward wording.
Is used to assess students
academic performance, to
quantify a student rate of
improvement or
responsiveness to instruction,
and to evaluate the
effectiveness of instruction.

For students an expression or a

rhyme that is used to remember
something (as a list) it easier

As a student, you have to read a

number of different resources,
e.g. your learning material, set
texts, recommended readings,
library books and journals, etc.
To reach this goal, educators
need tools to help them identify
students who are at risk
academically and adjust
instructional strategies to better
meet these students' needs.

Native language
support/instruction

The primary language to support lessons that

are taught mainly by using English.

The child who knows more

than one language has
personal, social, cognitive,
and economic advantages
that will continue for life.

It helps students work

together.

Prediction

Is a research-based fluency strategy used with

readers who lack fluency. In this strategy,
students read aloud to each other.

Is a method of instruction that involves

students teaching other students

Is a graphic that its meaning is representing by

words.
Is a strategy in which readers use information
from a text (including titles, headings, pictures,
and diagrams) and their own personal
experiences to anticipate what they are about

students read informational text.

18

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is now a commonly used

technique for generating creative ideas and
gearing up the process of innovation in
industries and companies.

Brainstorming stimulates and

enhances the creativity of
students.
Accelerates interactive, joyful
learning.

1. There are no wrong answers

When students are asked to
think of all things related to a
concept, they are really being
asked to stretch their thinking
skills.

2. Try to get as many ideas as

possible
3. Record all ideas
4. Do not express your evaluation
on any idea presented.

Pre-reading strategies

Allow students to think about what they already

know about a given topic and predict what they
will read or hear.

Pre-teach vocabulary

Are words that students know previously to

teacher taught.

Problem solving instruction

Is a systematic approach that reviews student

strengths and weaknesses, identifies
evidence-based instructional interventions,
frequently collects data to monitor student
progress, and evaluates the effectiveness of
interventions implemented with the student.

Retelling

the process by which a child listens to or reads

a story and then summarize, or "retells," the
story in his or her own words - is a technique
that ties into these learning experiences and is
an effective way to improve children's reading
comprehension.

Strategies allow students to

think about what they already
know about a given topic and
predict what they will read or
hear.

To helps the student in the

learning method, to
understand what you want to
learn.
Look at what vocabulary the
students will need to know to
do the task you set, rather
than what they probably wont
know in the text.

Measuring response to
instruction rather than relying
on norm-referenced
comparisons.
Using evidence-based
strategies within general
education classrooms
For young children who are
just starting to develop their
reading skills, this exercise
can be extremely helpful.

problem solving is
fundamental to education
because educators are
interested in improving
students' ability to solve
problems

Retelling took place when a

teacher either told or wrote
down his/her life-story.

Organize yourself before you read

To teach unfamiliar words used in

a text prior to the reading
experience.
Create visual images,
guesstimate, create a table, use
manipulatives, work backward,
look for a pattern and create a
systematic list.

Many teachers and early

educators are familiar with the
wealth of research indicating that
reading aloud to young children
enhances literacy development.

23

Summarize lesson

Summarize is to seek the essential facts,

figures or essential ideas for understanding a
text, eliminating everything else.

Think Aloud

Think Alouds help students learn to monitor

their thinking as they read an assigned
passage. Students are directed by a series of
questions which they think about and answer
aloud while reading. This process reveals how
much they understand a text. As students
become more adept at this technique they
learn to generate their own questions to guide
comprehension.

Venn Diagram

Using Visuals

A type of graphic organizer that uses

overlapping circles to visually represent the
commonalities amongst sets of information. A
Venn diagram is often used in language arts to
show characteristics that are the same in
books or character.

Are visual representations of knowledge,

concepts, thoughts, or ideas. To show the
relationships between the parts, the symbols
are linked with each other; words can be used
to further clarify meaning.

Students can learn how to

write summaries with the help
of graphic organizers, and
summarization lessons.

This is a great lesson plan to

use with students in third
through fifth grades. It teaches
the difference between
important ideas and less
important ideas.

Make a written test something

more important and understood

Begin by modeling this strategy.

Model your thinking as you read.
Do this at points in the text that
may be confusing for students.

Getting students into the

habit of thinking out loud
enriches classroom discourse
and gives teachers an
important assessment and
diagnostic tool.

Asks students to say out loud

what they are thinking about
when reading, solving math
1. Introduce the assigned text and
problems, or simply
responding to questions posed discuss the purpose of the Thinkby teachers or other students. Aloud strategy. Develop the set of
questions to support thinking
aloud.

Usually requires higher-order

thinking.

Venn diagrams are used to

compare and contrast groups
of things.

Quick way to illustrate a

complicated issue.
Good to use when concepts
overlap

Students are able to focus on

meaning, reorganize and
group similar ideas easily,
make better use of
their visual memory.

They are a useful tool

for formative assessment .

In Early Childhood, Middle

Childhood and Adolescence

Consists of overlapping circles.

Each circle contains all the
elements of a set. Where the
circles overlap shows the
elements that the set have in
common. Generally there are two
or three circles. Anymore and the
exercise becomes very
complicated.
Students see how ideas are
connected and realize how
information can be grouped and
organized. With visual learning,
new concepts are more
thoroughly and easily understood
when they are linked to prior
knowledge.

Student developed
Glossary

Students keep track of key content and

concept words and define them.

Clicker Use in Class

Instructors can evaluate class comprehension

or retention of complex material and create an
interactive learning experience by polling
students using a student response clicker
system.

Collaborative/Cooperative
Learning

Collaborative learning is a method of teaching

and learning in which students team together
to explore a significant question or create a
meaningful project.
Cooperative learning, which will be the primary
focus of this workshop, is a specific kind of
collaborative learning.

30

Critical Thinking

Means making reasoned judgments that are

logical and well thought out. It is a way of
thinking in which you don't simply accept all
arguments and conclusions you are exposed
to but rather have an attitude involving
questioning such arguments and conclusions.

Students are able to work

alone.
Modern students are
primarily active learners, and
lecture courses may be
increasingly out of touch with
how students engage their
world
Learners actively participate.
Teachers become learners at
times, and learners
sometimes teach.
Respect is given to every
member.

Raises vital questions and

problems, formulating them
clearly and precisely;
gathers and assesses
relevant information, using
abstract ideas to interpret it
effectively comes to wellreasoned conclusions and
solutions, testing them
against relevant criteria and
standards.

idea about the topic.
Find out if students have done
assigned reading before class;
measure what students know
before you start to teach them
and after you think youve
taught them.

Teacher put some question to

respond.
Student response systems use
radio frequency (RF) signals sent
from clickers to record responses,
collect data, and provide feedback

First, students need to feel

safe, but also challenged.
Second, groups need to be
small enough that everyone
can contribute. Third, the task
students work together on
must be clearly defined.

In small groups, students can

share strengths and also develop
their weaker skills. They develop
their interpersonal skills. They
learn to deal with conflict

In a specific topic.

It requires wanting to see what

evidence is involved to support a
particular argument or conclusion.

Discussion Strategies

Experiential Learning

Humor in the Classroom

Students in discussion deepens their learning

and motivation by propelling them to develop
their own views and hear their own voices. A
good environment for interaction is the first
step in encouraging students to talk.

organization, and voice while
providing a motivating and
productive academic
environment for all students.

Creates an opportunity for

students to engage and to
apply academic
understandings through
hands-on experience, while
simultaneously learning new
information about the world
around them.

the information is
communicated more
effectively and gave the
teacher higher
ratings.1 Further, the
students in the experimental
group were significantly more
able to recall and retain the
knowledge from the lectures.

Allow appropriate time for the

students to read and mark the
text, have students review the
guidelines and give students
talking for particular kinds of
contributions so that students
must use a variety of
responses.
Keep seminars short (20-25
minutes)
Educators purposefully
engage with learners in direct
experience and focused
reflection in order to increase
knowledge, develop skills,
clarify values, and develop
people's capacity to contribute
to their
Communities.

When students have final

exam is good to relax them.

Using discussions as a primary

teaching method allows you to
stimulate critical thinking. As you
establish a rapport with your
students, you can demonstrate
that you appreciate their
contributions at the same time
that you challenge them to think
more deeply and to articulate their
ideas more clearly.
1. Do the activity with your
group.
2. Reflect on the activity.

3. Apply the activity to other

experiences.

Ask students to try to build humor

into occasional writing
assignments, build creative and
humorous thinking by showing
cartoons and picture without
captions and asking students to
create them -- individually, in pairshares, or small groups.

Inquiry-Guided Learning

Team-Based Learning-

Team Teaching

Approach to teaching and learning is its

potential to increase intellectual engagement
and foster deep understanding through the
development of a hands-on, minds-on and
research-based disposition towards teaching
and learning.

Is the use of learning teams to enhance

student engagement and the quality of student
or trainee learning

A method of classroom instruction in which

several teachers combine their individual
subjects into one course which they teach as a
team to a single group of students.

An important advantage for

students who use the guided

Educators support studentscientists who decide on an

inquiry question and describe the
known concepts that support their
investigation. Students record the
events that occur during their
investigation of data sets and
analyze how to summarize this
