STRATEGIC INSTRUCTION MODEL® (SIM®) OVERVIEW
The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning developed the Strategic Instruction Model® (SIM®). For over twenty-five years, they have conducted research designed to develop ways to help students meet the demands of life, not just in school but after they leave school as well. Their overriding goal has been to develop an integrated model to address many of the needs of diverse learners.
Out of this effort, the Strategic Instruction Model®, or SIM®, has evolved. In essence, SIM is about promoting effective teaching and learning of critical content in schools. SIM strives to help teachers make decisions about what is of greatest importance, what we can teach students to help them to learn, and how to teach them well.
There are two components in SIM: Learning Strategies and Content Enhancement Routines. Websites for Learning Strategies and Content Enhancement Routines are listed following the descriptions of those programs. The following information can be accessed from the University of Kansas, Center for Research on Learning, at the following websites:
