This brief, written by Dr. Joseph Gagnon and Dr. Paula Maccini, focuses on the use of strategy instruction with middle school students with LD.
Dr. Jim Knight facilitated this webinar on May 19, 2004. The session introduced participants to the Strategic Instruction Model and presented ways to improve achievement for all students. While some students develop learning strategies naturally, others, especially students with disabilities, need explicit instruction to learn and generalize these important skills. Dr. Knight’s presentation explains the specifics of the Strategic Instruction Model, how to practically implement it in the classroom, and, more generally, how this will help educators respond to NCLB.
