As a future teacher I know that using a variety of instructional strategies can be a hard thing to continuously do, but I know it is not impossible. Teachers should teach to each individual student in their classroom, not just from the textbook. Teach lessons that will engage each student to learn to the best of their ability, and by using different instructional strategies you will be able to reach this in your classroom. It is important to get to know and understand your students so you know their abilities and their strengths and weaknesses. It is important to teach to all of them and challenge all of them. This will help develop different skills like problem solving and critical thinking. Ways to incorporate multiple instructional strategies is by teaching your lesson and then exploring even deeper with a project or activity. The teacher can use a variety of presentations and explanations to encourage students in critical thinking, creativity and problem solving. In the classroom it is important to not lecture, and keep students involved by asking them open ended questions to keep them involved by working on small group projects and individual projects. Teachers can also engage students by having them reflect on their prior knowledge and link those concepts to familiar concepts and then relate it to their own experiences. By using their experiences, the teacher can encourage students to understand, question, and analyze ideas from diverse perspectives.
