Spotlights on Strategies in Discovery Education
Your campus librarians have shared the Discovery Education campus codes with you. (If you can't locate your code, contact your campus librarian). DE is an awesome subscription resource for students and for teachers. But, holy cannoli, recently a presenter at a conference introduced me to an amazing gem hidden in Discovery Education that rocked my educational world.
DE's Spotlight on Strategies is chock full of ready-made critical thinking activities for your students. Search by skill, grade, or topic.
Simply search "Spotlight on Strategies" and select "Text" in the menu bar to reveal twelve pages of amazing strategies for students to use to discover, learn, and reflect.
Many of the strategies can be completed using both traditional and digital tools. If I were planning a lesson for a TTESS observation, this would be one of my go-to resources.
