Teaching Strategies. Research shows that teacher integration of literacy-related instructional strategies facilitates student learning across all content areas. With the use of content-specific information, it is through the literacy skills of reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing and presenting that students acquire and retain content knowledge and content-specific abilities. Teachers shall use a variety of instructional strategies such as Classroom Instruction That Works (CITW), Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP), and other research-based strategies that support student learning.
Teaching Strategies the teacher establishes and articulates goals for student learning, and the teacher establishes and communicates learning goals for all students. The teacher:

Strategies are the ‘tools for teaching and learning’ that teachers have available to them and ‘teaching skills’ are the ways in which teachers select and use the ‘tools’ at their disposal to achieve effective learning. Teaching strategies are the tools that teachers have at their disposal to engage learners and enable learning objectives to be met via effective teaching and learning and teaching skills are how they select and use these strategies. Teaching strategies are differentiated from teaching models by using our definition of a model as the sequence of steps or phases (the syntax) used to achieve particular types of learning outcomes. The existing literature tends to divide the analysis of examples of skills and strategies observed in practice into the following three broad categories that follow the teaching and learning process. These are:
