Instructional Strategies Presentation

Exam Content

Instructional strategies can be considered the vehicle for delivering instruction to help students achieve learning goals. Every teacher in every classroom is responsible for promoting student learning, and in order to do this, a teacher must have an “instructional strategy tool belt” of sorts, to utilize the most appropriate instructional strategy when teaching a lesson or concept. With classrooms being a dynamic environment that bring together students from different backgrounds with varying abilities and personalities, using creative and innovative teaching strategies is a must.
