good morning fellow teachers, I am posting this early due to the roads are washed out in WV and we were unable to make it to our final destination last night, so I have internet at our hotel. The first article is "Instructional Strategies to accommodate a team-teaching approach. I used this to confirm strategies in student teaching arrangement. Written by Jorge Gayton and retrieved from ERIC
The second article is "Content area instructional strategies" by Joel R Montgomery also from ERIC is an article that speaks to teaching middle school second language learners. We can compare weather stories upon my return. Thanks Brian
The first article that I found details instructional strategies that teachers can use throughout their careers to attain higher levels of thinking in their classrooms. Strategies are listed for use before and during instruction as well as strategies for formative evaluation at the end of instruction.

The second article that I found explains instructional strategies and practices for teachers to use in order to help students with attention disorders. Resources are discussed that can help with the instruction of ALL students in a classroom, creating a greater learning environment for everybody involved.

Retrieved June, 2010, from http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3748795 This author of this article writes about bridging the gap between home and school. Strategies include creating and building relationships and the pros and cons of assigning homework. This surrounds my puzzle of practice because I do believe building relationships is the most important part of instruction; one has to know their students before they can teach them.

This is one of the best articles I have read in graduate school. It deals with the idea of grading effort and content separately in order to gain a clearer picture of student understanding.

What can I say? This is the bible for instructional management. It details a wide array of effective, instructional strategies.
This website offered a variety of instructional strategies. It is very straight forward and informative. Hopefully it helps you too. http://www.pgcps.pg.k12.md.us/~elc/strategies.html
Again, a concise discussion of strategies for literacy based instruction. It pulled together much of the information we have been studying throughout the program. http://www.eduplace.com/rdg/res/literacy/lit_ins4.html
Ok...my puzzle of practice for instrctional strategies has something to do with making sure I fulfull my committment as a teacher to prepare each student the best that I can. Obviously this is ideal, but how can I do this while making sure I meet the needs of all students without compromising or ignoring the needs of other students.
The first source I have is actually a book which has different sections about teaching, learning, planning, etc. I like this book because it helps you understand ways that you can integrate differentiated insturction into the classroom, hence the title Integrating Differentiated Insturction!

Me second article is about flexible grouping. It talks about many different ways you can groups students together and the different benefits these types of groupings have. Lots of info.

Because I taught in a primarily Latino community and currently work with these students, I continue to discover how culture impacts all areas of the classroom, including instructional strategies.

This second article provides very practical suggestions for instructional strategies for ELL students. Great quick resource that may trigger further research into more specifics.
