This text presents teaching from three specific actions — Organizing, Instructing, and Assessing — and is divided into three sections which reflect each of these teaching actions. The strategies presented in each section are truly universal in nature — they cut across grade levels, subject areas, and teaching situations. The book emphasizes Context, Content, and Learner as essential elements in the decision-making process. This text bridges the gap between theory, research, and practice with clear and effective writing, and a framework that combines the context, content, and learner with what teachers need in the real world: organizing, instructing, and assessing. Universal Teaching Strategies expands both the pedagogical teaching knowledge of teachers and their instructional repertoires.
