In this episode, we’ll look at this in relation to the English block in literacy learning.

What are the High Impact Teaching Strategies?
The H.I.T.S. are 10 instructional practices that reliably increase student learning wherever they are applied.

H.I.T.S. requires you to draw on both your deep curriculum knowledge and your skills in assessment for, as and of learning. Applying the H.I.T.S. effectively relies on tapping into your expertise to develop and implement rich, authentic learning tasks.
