1. Differentiated Instruction
2. Multiple learning styles
3. Promote cooperation through small group work
4. Encourage self-talk and positive thinking
5. Teach note taking strategies such as Cornell notes / ESE Accommodations (from IEPs)
1. Make comparisons between the new concept and things students already know.
2. Use mnemonics to help students remember multiple steps in a procedure.
3. Model the steps in the strategy, using a think-aloud process.
4. Use multiple reviews of concepts and skills.
5. Give students specific feedback about what they are doing well or need to change.
6. Give students enough practice to master skills.
