Co-Instruction Strategies
Alternative/Differentiated Teaching
Alternative teaching strategies provide two different approaches to teaching the same information.
The learning outcome is the same for all students however the avenue for getting there is different.
Benefits
​
Offers more individualized learning
Different learning styles can be considered in planning of activities
Provides possibility for more hands-on activities
Examples
​
One leads a group in predicting prior to reading by doing a picture walk, the other has the same outcome with her group, where students predict by connecting items pulled from a bag with the story.
Non-Examples
​
One teaches fractions by dividing chocolate bars, the other has students using M&Ms to calculate their fractions.
Both teachers use the same strategy with two groups of students.
