Strategic Instruction Model (SIM) Fall Workshop Series:  Unit Organizer Routine, Concept Mastery Routine, The Framing Routine

Teachers use the Unit Organizer Routine to plan units; introduce and maintain the big ideas in units; and show how units, critical information, and concepts are related. Research results showed that students whose teachers regularly and consistently used the Unit Organizer Routine scored an average of 15 percentage points higher on unit tests than students whose teachers used it only irregularly; The Concept Mastery Routine:  Teachers use the Concept Mastery Routine to define, summarize, and explain a major concept and where it fits within a larger body of knowledge. Research shows several benefits for secondary students when their teachers use this routine.  The Framing Routine:  Teachers use the Framing Routine to transform abstract main ideas and key topics into a concrete representation that helps students think about and talk about the key topic and essential related information. Research results have consistently demonstrated that the routine can effectively facilitate subject-matter learning as well as the development of literacy and thinking skills.
