SMS,

Listed below are the five "Key Strategies":
1. Clarifying, sharing, and understanding goals for learning and criteria for success with learners.
2. Engineering effective classroom discussions, questions, activities, and tasks that elicit evidence of students’ learning.
3. Providing feedback that moves learning forward.
4. Activating students as owners of their own learning.
5. Activating students as learning resources for one another.
