Why are Teaching Strategies Important?Why are Teaching Strategies Important?
Recent research shows that students who are at risk of dropping out are not connected to their schools or learning. Two separate surveys of students found that contrary to popular belief, students dropout because they are bored and unmotivated, rather than finding learning too hard.
The right teaching strategies can help reengage students and make them more motivated to learn!

CONSIDERATIONS IN SELECTIONCONSIDERATIONS IN SELECTION
• Strategies that are evidence and research-based are considered best practices.
• Will it "fit" with the curriculum you are teaching? • Will it "fit" with the students you are teaching? • Should it be modified to better fit what you want to do? • Has it been used with success by you in the past? • Does it fit your learning style or the learning style of your
students? Does it address multiple intelligences? • Can it be done without your appearing unprofessional?
