Various forms of instructional strategies can be implemented in the classroom to inform instruction and create student engagement, while also meeting the diverse needs of students. Instructional strategies come in varying forms, ranging from direct instruction provided by the teacher to student-centered approaches like collaborative work groups amongst students. While many instructional strategies can be utilized across content areas, some instructional strategies may be more appropriate than others based on the standard and learning objective of a lesson.
Complete the “Instructional Strategies Chart” to describe teacher-centered and student-centered instructional strategies, align instructional practices, and reflect.
Part 1: Examining Instructional Strategies
Describe the defining characteristics and examples of each instructional strategy (50 words per strategy) related to direct instruction, concept attainment, inquiry, and cooperative learning. Research two additional instructional strategies of your choice.
Part 2: Aligning Instructional Strategies

Tennessee Standard is 2.AO.A.1 2nd grade
Provide three examples of instructional strategies that effectively support students in achieving the established learning objective and a brief justification of the alignment (75 words per example).
Part 3: Video Reflection

- Summary of your findings in your examination of
instructional strategies, including which approaches and strategies most resonate with you.
Explanation of how instructional strategies relate to learning theories (e.g., behaviorism, cognitivism) and include at least two specific examples. Include a discussion on why pedagogical knowledge of theories and research on effective teaching are beneficial, regardless of the content area you plan to teach.
