Understanding Models, Strategies and Methods

Models, Strategies and Methods are always confusing to me until I see them presented in a diagram. I have reviewed them again and this is my understanding. Teachers use Models to select the Strategies, Methods and Skills to deliver curriculum. This includes information-processing, behavioral, social interaction and personal. Within each model, teachers are encouraged to use several strategies to meet their goals and to involve all types of learners. The different strategies include direct, indirect, interactive, experiential and independent study. Methods are more specific and involve such practices as lectures, case studies, cooperative learning, learning contacts and more. All of these methods may be in a variety of different strategies. Using all three is how a teacher selects the instructional practice to use. I should probably just keep a diagram in my wallet!
