Frameworks: Six Instructional Strategies 1. Cooperative Learning Group-Students work together to accomplish shared goals. Ex: www.jigsaw.org/ 2.

Identify Similarities and Differences-Help learners to see patterns and make connections. Ex: beyondpenguins.ehe.osu.edu A Sense of Place 3. Nonlinguistic Representation/Graphic Organizers-Venn diagrams concept maps, timelines, audio book Ex: Making a coat of arms edhelper.com/teachers/graphic_organizers.htm

4. Homework and Practice-To help students obtain mastery with reinforcing strategies for lesson or objective. (Must be legitimate) 5. Advanced Organizers (example below)

6. Cues and Questions: Allow students time after a question to consider an answer. Also vary questions to include more high than low level thinking questions. This will require higher thinking to reach answers and connect with the totality of the information or concept, expecting more than a simple yes or no answer.
