Teaching Strategies

Teaching Strategies is an introductory core text known for its down-to-earth, practical help on the most commonly used classroom teaching strategies and tactics, including lesson planning, questioning, and small group and cooperative learning strategies. Part 2 begins with a new chapter on the holistic nature of the instructional process, which serves as a foundation to chapters on instructional goals, design, sequencing, management, instructional alignments, and assessment. "Reflection Boxes" pose questions and challenges that require active student participation, including doing Internet searches to explore topics and find resources.
