Content Enhancement

See also http://www.scs.sk.ca/edf/ce for more information regarding Content Enhancement.

What is Content Enhancement?

Content Enhancement is an instructional method that relies on using powerful teaching devices to organize and present curriculum content in an understandable and easy-to-learn manner. Content Enhancement is about creating 'barrier-free education' based on key principles, organized planning, specific routines, and strategic teaching methods.

Why use Content Enhancement Routines?

Conent Enhancement Routines are used by teachers to teach curriculum content to academically diverse classes in ways that all students can understand and rememeber key information. Teachers identify content that they deem to be most critical and teach it using a teaching routine that actively engages students with the content.

Content Enhancement Routines and Devices

Content Enhancement routines are delivered by the teacher in a regular class setting and involve strategic teaching practices using specific devices developed to promote specific outcomes. These routines can be grouped into four categories:

1. Planning and Leading Learning

2. Explaining Text, Topics, Details and Terms

3. Teaching Concepts

4. Increasing Performance
