The four "families," Social, Information-Processing, Personal and Behavioral Systems each contain strategies that will help us become effective teachers. However, taking only from one family will not allow you to reach all learners. The Instructional Models Key is helpful because the goal is listed down the middle of the table and is useful in selecting strategies to use in different lessons. In order to be an effective teacher, you MUST incorporate direct and indirect teaching.
