Strategies for teachers Book

This text provides a comprehensive description of seven different teaching strategies, each illustrated in specific detail with case studies based on actual K-12 classroom teaching episodes. These strategies serve as instructional models which can be directly applied or consciously modified in classrooms. The text focuses on active learning, the use of research, psychology and experience, and emphasizes the teacher's central role in the learning process. There are also specific sections that include strategies for motivating reluctant learners, at-risk students and low achievers. Classroom examples are featured throughout and exercises with feedback aim to help the reader apply content to new situations.
