WestEd's Carr and Bertrando Share Top Teaching Tips

Leadership — September 2012

What techniques do you use to help struggling students understand a lesson or concept fully?

You might know about using visuals or giving cues, but have you heard of Word Walls, Sentence Frames, and KWL Charts? These are just a few of the evidence-based instructional strategies WestEd's John Carr and Sharen Bertrando share in this article published in the current issue of Leadership (see page 24) from the Association of California School Administrators.

The tips are based on Carr and Bertrando's new book, Teaching English Learners and Students with Learning Difficulties in an Inclusive Classroom: A Guidebook for Teachers.
