Week 6 Assignment – Instructional Strategies

Instructional strategies help instructors deliver information and assess students while enabling students in their learning. Various instructional strategies can be implemented to improve student learning and engagement. The selection of effective teaching strategies can lead to high-quality instruction.

The purpose of this assignment is to select an instructional strategy for various settings based on learning theories. Use the “Instructional Strategies” resource to fill in the graphic organizer. Based on the setting, you will choose an educational theory, application to learning, and instructional strategy.

In addition to completing the “Instructional Strategies” graphic organizer, update your lesson plan from Topic 3 to include the instructional strategies you research in this assignment. Select five evidence-based resources on instructional strategies to support your findings.

Include the Instructional Strategies graphic organizer and updated lesson plan as one Word document.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Instructional Strategies

Introduction

This guide will help you determine the best instructional strategies for your students. We’ll cover how to choose the right strategy, and how to apply it effectively in a classroom situation. At the end of this guide, you’ll know what all of these terms mean so that when someone says something like “You need a strategy for that,” you can respond with confidence!

Instructional strategies are methods of teaching that a teacher uses to deliver instruction and promote learning in their students.

Instructional strategies are methods of teaching that a teacher uses to deliver instruction and promote learning in their students. The role of the teacher is to engage students in the classroom by helping them understand concepts, develop skills, and complete assignments. Teachers also play a critical role in promoting student success by providing effective feedback on completed work.

Children learn best when they have positive relationships with their teachers that reinforce good behavior, encourage participation in class activities and allow students to express themselves freely without fear of reprimand or punishment (Garcia & Kolb 2000).

Constructivism is a strategy that emphasizes student-centered learning.

Constructivism is a teaching strategy that emphasizes student-centered learning. Teachers should be aware of their students’ background knowledge and how they can use that to help them learn.

The teacher plays an active role in guiding the students to construct knowledge by encouraging exploration, questioning, analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources. Students are encouraged to question concepts and ideas presented by instructors or other teachers at the school or in society at large. This type of teaching helps students develop critical thinking skills which will serve them well throughout their lives as adults!

As a teacher, your goal is to make sure your students are engaged and learning with each lesson you teach.

As a teacher, your goal is to make sure your students are engaged and learning with each lesson you teach. If you can’t do that, then there is no point in teaching them at all!

To get started on this process of ensuring that students will be engaged and learning through the course of instruction, start by thinking about what type of lesson plan would work best for this particular group of learners. This can be done by looking at their previous experience with similar subjects or topics so that you know what types of activities they may enjoy most (e.g., hands-on activities vs reading). Then consider how much time each student has available during class periods—if someone only has 45 minutes per week then maybe this isn’t something worth spending too much time on right now since more advanced topics should always come later down the road when there’s more time available for them personally; however if someone struggles academically due mainly due lackadaisical attitude towards schoolwork then practicing these skills early could help prepare them mentally ahead so they don’t feel unprepared during other classes later down line which would allow us both keep things moving along smoothly without any issues arising.”

Instructional strategies greatly vary by subject area, but there is one main goal: making sure students learn what they’re supposed to learn.

The strategy you use in your classroom should be based on your student’s needs and abilities. You should assess your students’ knowledge and learning styles before you plan a lesson, so that you can meet their needs. If you are a new teacher, it is also important to learn from experienced teachers who have been successful with certain strategies over others.

The strategy you use in your classroom should be based on your student’s needs and abilities. A flexible teacher will be able to adapt the strategy to the students, so that no one feels left out.

Teachers should be able to use a variety of strategies in their classrooms, including:

• Lecture-based instruction (e.g., lecturing)

• Small group work or cooperative learning activities (e.g., partner work)

Conclusion

We hope this brief overview of different instructional strategies has been helpful. While the best strategy for your classroom may not be clear-cut, we’ve provided some different examples that can help you decide on which ones might work best for your students.
