Good teachers typically spend a great deal of time advance planning. They diagnose their students' needs, identify the knowledge and skills needed, develop an appropriate sequence of learning, and then plan lessons that keep their students motivated and engaged.
These lessons are divided into teacher-directed and student-centered strategies. Both types of strategies require large amounts of planning by the classroom teacher, yet differ in their focus. With your partner, using the resources presented to you in class and Google Docs, discuss the chart of 10 commonly used instructional strategies and see which ones would be (and when) most effective to teach the research process to a group of elementary students.
