instruction?

 What procedure should I use to
teach strategies?
• The goal of learning strategies:
• Make our students independent learners that
can use strategies in different contexts.
• 5 phases of instruction to teach strategies.
 1. Preparation
• Activate the students' background
knowledge about the topic and the
strategy.
 2. Presentation

strategy.

Name the strategy.
Explain how to use it.
Tell when to use it.
Model it.
Explain its importance.
 3. Practice
• Now the students have the opportunity to
practice using the strategy.
• Success with learning strategies depends
upon whether students find them useful.
 4. Evaluation

strategies work best for them on certain
tasks and why. (self-evaluation)

strategies to other tasks.
