Trying Strategies in Journal Articles


Question: How should you attempt to try strategies with your students that you borrow from articles in journals?

Answer/Quote:
1. Evaluate: “Determine which literacy strategy will best help your students to learn the concept(s) you are presenting.”

2. “Try it: Sometimes you have to modify the strategy to fit what you are teaching.”

3. “Assess: Determine how well the strategy worked…. Obtain student feedback on the strategy.”

4. “Revise. Make changes to the strategy if necessary. Try the revised strategy again with different material.”

Comment: What works with the teacher in the article, might not work for your students. A good rule of thumb is to try it on yourself first. RayS.
