Are you looking for high-impact, research-based strategies to transform your students into high-achieving and inspired learners? In The Strategic Teacher, you?ll find a repertoire of strategies designed and proven to meet today's high standards and reach diverse learners. Twenty reliable, flexible strategies (along with dozens of variations) are organized into groups of instruction. To guide teachers in delivering content to students, the authors started with the best research-based teaching and learning strategies and created a tool called the Strategic Dashboard. The dashboard provides information about each teaching strategy in a concise, visual profile; it is also designed to document how you incorporate current, highly respected research into your plans. The authors have combined their years of research and practice to deliver reliable, high-impact, flexible teaching and learning strategies grounded in current, highly regarded research to teachers at all levels of experience.

The Strategic Teacher: Selecting the Right Research-Based Strategy for Every Lesson

You're holding a new kind of professional development tool called a Strategic Teacher PLC Guide. Designed in partnership with more than 75 schools, Strategic Teacher PLC Guides make the important work of bringing high-impact, research-based instructional practices into every classroom easier than ever before. Each guide focuses on one strategy from the bestselling ASCD book The Strategic Teacher: Selecting the Right Research-Based Strategy for Every Lesson and serves as a complete professional development resource for a team of teachers (or professional learning community) to learn, plan, and implement the strategy in their classrooms. This guide focuses on Compare &amp; Contrast, a critical thinking strategy unique in its capacity to build students' memories, eliminate confusion, and highlight crucial similarities and differences. Research shows that comparative thinking strategies are the single most effective way to improve student learning. Compare &amp; Contrast takes the natural human capacity to make comparisons and maximizes its effectiveness by leading students through a four-phase learning process that involves * Describing each item separately using criteria. * Capturing key similarities and differences on a comparison organizer. * Forming and discussing generalizations and conclusions. * Synthesizing learning by completing a relevant task. This PLC Guide takes you and your colleagues on a "guided tour" of the Compare &amp; Contrast strategy, enabling you to * Explore the principles and classroom phases that make Compare &amp; Contrast such an effective strategy. * Experience a model lesson using the Compare &amp; Contrast strategy and learn from sample lessons designed by other teachers. * Plan a complete lesson using the Compare &amp; Contrast strategy. * Reflect deeply on your lesson to refine and expand your use of the strategy. * Examine student work at various levels of proficiency and use your findings to plan next steps in building students' comparative analysis skills.

This guide focuses on the Interactive Lecture, a strategy that increases students' abilities to think actively about the content of lectures and presentations so they can lock the critical information in their memories. The Interactive Lecture engages students and helps them build strong permanent memories by leading them through the following four-phase learning process: * Connect: The lecture begins with a hook that helps students connect their experiences and background knowledge to the lecture topic. * Organize: The lecturer presents information in manageable "chunks," which students record on visual organizers. * Dual-Code: The lecturer uses a variety of presentation techniques to make content more memorable. * Exercise and Elaborate: The lecture closes with a synthesis task that has students integrate or summarize what they have learned. This PLC Guide takes you and your colleagues on a "guided tour" of the Interactive Lecture, enabling you to * Learn how the techniques built into the Interactive Lecture help students actively process and remember critical information. * Experience a model lesson using the Interactive Lecture and learn from sample lessons and planning forms designed by other teachers. * Plan a complete Interactive Lecture for your classroom. * Reflect deeply on your lesson to refine and expand your use of the strategy. * Examine student work at various levels of proficiency and use your findings to plan next steps in building students' recall and comprehension.
