I have used some of these strategies, they do work. I like how these were presented, very creative. It has reminded me to use other media in the classroom.

Thanks for the compliment. We reviewed over 1,000 journal articles to find the 35 strategies cited in our book and DVDs (www.teachingdoctors.com)

John, This LOOKS great. Yet, I'm forced to say, that it just seems like an advertisement for your program.

Hi Jenny,
It is actually part of a book I wrote. I'm glad you like the strategies. In the book there are many more which are accompanied by videos of master teachers. It took 3 years to write the book and it is so nice to hear you think the strategies are useful.

Very helpful tips that I can easily integrate into a classroom setting. I would have preferred more details on the statements concerning each methods efficacy rate, rather than unsupported claims, but there is a bibliography with resources that I assume would rectify that shortcoming. My main complaint would be the item description itself. A more thorough description that let me know exactly what I was getting would have been appreciated. In sum, I was pleasantly surprised and have found an excellent, concise, and useful resource. Thank you, Dr. Schachter.

Visually appealing lesson about an often underdeveloped skill--forming questions. Lesson deepens children's thinking and involvement with a text, as they learn about thin and thick questions. I liked that students generated both thick and thin questions multiple times.
Especially liked how students generated a Jeopardy game easily, which they then played. Answering the questions developed their thinking further with an element of fun, to reinforce positive feelings about forming questions. Well done!

A good, practical set of lessons. I really like the stop light analogy.
