Learning+strategy+Instruction

This is a teaching strategy that allows students to learn a variety of strategies, that perhaps best suite them and according to Lenz (2006, p.262), it teaches students to, “think and act in ways to consciously learn and perform.” This strategy uses cognitive and metagognitive skills to teach the thinking and thinking about thinking skills. It is a strategy that enables students to understand the process rather than just the content, it also empowers the individual to take control of their learning and furthermore encourages them to actively participate in classroom activities according to their ability. **How you would implement effective strategy instruction** (Dempsey & Arthur- Kelly, 2007, p. 31) References: Dempsey, I., Arthur-Kelly, M.
