High Impact Teaching Strategies

This strategy is demonstrated when the teacher:

• 
  links multiple exposures to the learning goals
  
• 
  plans units of work that clearly identify new knowledge and skills that will benefit from multiple exposures
  
• 
  uses a variety of learning and assessment tasks that vary students’ interactions with the knowledge and/or skills, and supports transfer of learning.
  

This strategy is NOT demonstrated when the teacher:

• 
  repeats the same activity many times with no variation in context, resulting in dull repetition
  
• 
  does not provide timely feedback, resulting in students repeating mistakes multiple times.
  

This strategy is demonstrated when students:

• 
  consolidate their learning through opportunities that engage and re-engage them with new content over a period of time
  
• 
  feel supported and confident about new learning.
