Constructivist Teaching Strategies

1. Use teaching strategies that require students to make a construct. (Presenting information is not enough.) Students must apply, use, or process the information.

2. Ensure that all students are participating in making constructs. Holding them accountable for their learning.

3. Ensure the tasks require students to process the information at a high level on Bloom’s taxonomy: Evaluation, synthesis, analysis etc

4. Require the students to make a product that is used to diagnose learning errors and omissions. E.g. speaking to a partner, matching cards, written work etc

5. Require students to check for their own, and each other’s learning errors and omissions

6. Require students to correct these learning errors and omissions

7. Make the above fun!
