STWEL: Overview
When choosing to implement a new strategy, pick one and use it until it's automatic for both you and your students. When you decide on a technology tool, pick ONE. There are a lot of digital tools available, but it's a distraction if you try to implement all of them. Pick ONE.

One strategy, one digital tool.

Strategies you use are more effective when they match the learning intention and students' phase of learning.

Matching the right approach with the appropriate phase of learning is the critical lesson to be learned." - Hattie, Fisher and Frey (Visible Learning for Mathematics, 2017)

Approaches that facilitate students' surface-level learning do not work equally well for deep learning, and vice versa.

Evidence-Based Strategies
Evidence-Based Strategies
There are a wide variety of strategies. Some work well and are supported by extensive research. Others do not work as well. Below you will find a variety of literacy friendly strategies. They are organized by learning intention.

Matching High-Effect Size Instructional Strategies and Digital Tools
Matching High-Effect Size Instructional Strategies and Digital Tools
In this document, you will find high-effect size instructional strategies with suggested digital tools. The list is not exhaustive of tools or strategies, however, adopt these strategies to accelerate student growth in one year above the hinge point (.40). The strategies are organized according to core, surface, deep, or transfer learning.

In a few moments, we'll divide up to explore the three different learning intentions (e.g. Surface, Deep, Transfer), as well as three strategies for each of those. To do that, we'll use a surface learning strategy known as The Jigsaw Method.
