Strategies for Teaching……Strategies for Learning

If you've ever played the game of chess, chances are you used a fairly unsophisticated approach when first making your way around the board. It's also likely that basic tactics quickly emerged after just a few games--moves that were at first aimless and erratic became much more planned and organized. You may have even found yourself thinking several moves ahead, beginning to develop a strategy. Some obvious strategies may have easily become part of your regular chess-playing arsenal. Other, more advanced strategies, however, may not develop without additional training or lots of practice.
It's always a good idea to have a plan of attack--and not just for chess. When it comes to teaching and learning, having a plan--or strategy--is definitely the way to go.1
