What is instructional strategy?

Information that is collected during the analysis phase is used to help design the instructional strategy.  The instructional strategy is the approach taken to facilitate learning.  The strategy can be either more supplantive (meaning is supplied by the instructor) or more generative (meaning is generated by the learner’s interpretation).  Each of these approaches will affect how the lesson is organized and delivered.

The expanded instructional events (below) can be used as the framework of the lesson and can be adapted for either strategy.
