  34. After Dinner Questions • What is the difference between a strategy and an activity? Give examples. • What is the difference between group work and cooperative learning? Give examples. • What was your favorite strategy you saw today? Why? Show how it can be used in each discipline. • How can I help teachers to implement these strategies, and how will I ensure productive follow-up and support? • How can I model these strategies for teachers and help them realize that they are cross-curricular? • How do I monitor teachers’ growth and its effect on student achievement? • Will I be able to identify the critical attributes of successful implementation of strategies? Explain the critical attributes of the strategies. • Give an example of how any of these strategies engage students’ brains.
