Research Directions: Revisiting cognitive strategy instruction in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms: Cautions and Possibilities

In this paper, the authors raise concerns regarding the use of cognitive strategy instruction (CSI) in culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) classrooms. The authors recognize the potential benefits afforded by CSI. At the same time, they argue that counter to the intentions of those who have developed CSI, it may be implemented in ways that exacerbate current standardizing and skills-based instructional trends in literacy instruction.
