What Are Strategies?

Here is an article that discusses a strategy for helping students appreciate their own growth.  It might be useful as an example for answering questions that ask, "What strategies..."  I will tell you right now that I am not the poster child for remembering and using many different strategies.

Your components 2&3 ask for strategies for differentiation and engagement.  Can you point to concrete methods similar to this one which you use to get the desired outcomes for your students?

What are some strategies YOU have used, heard of, or seen in other classrooms that you would like to try?  They don't have to be for differentiation or engagement, but they could be.  I'd love to see us brainstorming in the COMMENTS section.  

Calling for Guest Posts!

There you are!  Do you have ideas for differentiation or engagement strategies for our NBCT candidates? Would you be willing to share your expertise?  What other amazing resources have you found for teachers?
