Blog Format To Be Used To Post Strategies

Since our professional development day on October 11, I have been pleased to observe a number of teachers emphasizing one or more of the nine strategies we discussed Our goal now is to use this Blog as a a format to share the various methods in which these strategies are being implemented. Sharing the implementation idea is important, but even more so is the feedback you provide on how these strategies actually worked to assist you in your efforts to increase student learning.

Each of the nine instructional strategies are listed below. You can begin posting your strategies as well as comments related to each post under each appropriate strategy. Please feel free to post any implementation idea that you have used, regardless of whether it pertains to your assigned group strategy. The more ideas shared, the better!
