There are many lists of different instructional/teaching strategies online. However, I thought readers might find it useful if I compiled a sort of “list of list” – a post sharing the exceptional ones.

And there aren’t many of them (though feel free to let me know which ones I’ve missed).

I’m just putting links on this list to compilations that share multiple instructional strategies, including quite a few that are not the “typical” ones many teachers already know. In addition, the site must be well-designed and share enough information that the teacher can apply each strategy immediately.

(Also check out THE BEST COLLECTIONS OF INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES FOR ELLS – HELP ME FIND MORE!)

I’m starting off with only three, though am happy to add to it. In addition, I’m including a few links to related “Best” lists.

Here they are:

I learned about this excellent collection of instructional strategies via a tweet by Tony Vincent. It’s from the University of Oklahoma, and is very well-designed. Click on the “card” and it will take you to a much more extensive explanation of the method.

PROJECT ZERO’S “THINKING ROUTINES TOOL” IS AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE.

TARA is a new site for teachers that has a number of features, including a “resource bank” with many instructional strategies (you can read about it at Richard Byrne’s blog).  Each strategy has guidance, and the ones I checked all had support videos and downloadable templates.  There were a few with names I didn’t recognize, but they also didn’t have any added materials – perhaps they were just placeholders of some kind.  You need to register to access them all, but it’s free quick and easy.

Reading Rockets has a nice collection of instructional strategies.
